Hi - I'm using a company laptop that is connected to our domain and I want to
access my mailbox using outlook on the laptop when I'm offsite. When
connected on our lan I log in and everything works fine. When I'm offsite I
log in using my profile and my DSL account at home and launch my cisco vpn
client. It connects fine but it wont' access network shares or my exchange
server. The network shares I figured out my mapping the IP (ex.
192.168.1.1\c$\Share_directory). What do I need so I can access exchange.
When I try and access it says network not found and when I try to configure
it doens't seem to be able to resolve the server address. Any ideas?

Hi John,

I think what you will need is a VPN connection to Exchange and not to
Outlook.

Maybe this site (only for Exchange 2003) give some answers for how to
connect to an Exchange 2003 over VPN
