MN 700 - Novell VPN - Outlook 2003

Port forwarding hasn't worked to fix this problem.

I have a Microsoft modem, mn 700 router and also
microsoft wireless adapters. All of my computers are
wirelessly connected perfectly. All have an internet
connection.

One of my computers is my work desktop. The problem that
I have on this computer is that when I am VPN connected,
my work outlook won't connect. Others in these threads
have had trouble getting their VPN to connect wireless
through the MN 700. Not my problem, because my VPN
connects through the MN 700....I can even go into START,
RUN and type in a server address and get to my employers
servers and files. But the outlook won't connect through
the router. And it really appears to be a router issue
because if I connect directly to the modem with this
computer (bypassing the router) the outlook connects.

Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It's actually that Outlook hasn't been configured to use a FQDN for your
e-mail servers. If you start using a FQDN instead of only a small part
that will solve your problem. Besides you would have that "Problem"
with any router that acts as a DNS server as the MN-100, MN-500, &
MN-700 do.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or
http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our
time.

Thanks Joker. I'll try this.
Does this still make sense as the solution when outlook
does connect if I connect directly to the modem and
bypass the router?
