Outlook 2010 not finding the Server
Whenever we open up the outlook 2010, it will search for the Server and it won't find it. Then, it will come back and the note will say "Retry". It will take another 2 minutes before it finally opens. What could be the problem?

Check the DNS on that local computer. Ping the mail server by name from that computer.
Open Outlook, then press & hold CTRL+SHIFT then right click the Outlook icon in the systray. Choose CONNECTION STATUS
This might help determine what you're not connecting to properly.
Outlook/Exchange requires connections to both a Domain Controller and a Mail server.

I managed to ping the mail server by name and no packets were lost.

I went to the connection status and did the tracert on server and it went through 6 hops, but the fifth hop timed out.
Can you post the results?
