Remote computer cant connect to mailhost
Hi,
My computer at home is set up to connect to the mailhost server at work so I can view my outlook emails from home. This has hit an error and I can no longer access internet or my emails, both of which were through the work server.
Local office computers, are able to recieve their emails and access the internet. Although they are currently having a problem were a reboot is needed maybe twice a week, some service seems to be causing an issue.
Has anyone any suggestions what could be stopping my connection to the mailhost.
From my own PC I can ping the router and the lights are on the router all flashing correctly for an internet connection.
All help is greatly appreciated.

Are you using Outlook Anywhere? or VPN? Are you using Exchange and if so what version?

Yes using Outlook, con is on the machine, I'm not using it though and its ms server 2003, am I right to assume the faults lies with the server?
Exchange 2003 with Outlook? And it was working at some point?
ASKER
Yes it was working until yesterday
Can you reboot the server?
ASKER
Yes I rebooted the server but no change, is there anything on the server that would be specific to a remote client as all local clients are fine?

Sorry I wont be able to check this until tomorrow, I had to leave office.
In the meantime, I connect to office from home through a VPN, are there any settings specific to this that could be causing me bother?

Hi, the routing and remote services solved the error for me but I have given you points for all the help and the tip about certificates has come in handy too.
Thank you.
Thank you.

The DNS service is running as is the Windows Time service which seems to be connected with a 4004 error (or so Ive just read on the internet) - Im pretty new to servers.
