We have installed SonicWall Firewall and when I connect through VPN I can not connect to the Exchange server through Outlook

When I try to create a profile
On "check names" prompt in Services, server and mailbox are found sometimes
but not allways. When not found it says "The name could not be resolved."
When the mailbox and server are found, it never really connects to the
mailbox...getting a message like 'folder not available'.

I also can not ping any computer including the Exchange server by name, but I can ping any computer including the Exchange server by IP address (This is only through VPN)

The Exchange runs on Windows 2003 SBS.

What can I check to fix this problem?

Peter,

Make sure there's no firewall packaged with the VPN client.

What's your DNS server? Does it have an entry for the Exchange server?

Peter,

Speaking from gut feel, about 50% of the problems here, that are resolved
simply, turn out to be firewall related. Maybe 25% are LSP / Winsock / TCP/IP
corruption. The other 25% are miscellaneous.

With your symptoms, combined with the VPN involvement, a firewall becomes more
than 50% likely. "Cannot ping by name but can ping by IP address" suggests a
DNS server issue. DNS server issues can, again, be caused by firewall problems.

some work. I can advise you, but you gotta do the leg work.

Thank you for your help.

I can not ping any computer on company's network from my home computer
through VPN by computer name, but I can ping the same computer by the IP
address.

Also the default website on Windows 2003 http:\\companyweb does not work
anymore either, I am getting 'Page Can Not be Displayed".

FYI:
Before we installed the SonicWall the Company's network was 192.168.1.1 and
we changed it to 192.168.10.1.
(the network consists of 8 computers plus the server)

So I think it is the DNS issue, but I do not know where to look or how to
fix it.

Peter,

Well, it almost certainly is a DNS issue. Now you have to find out what the
problem is that causes the DNS issue.

Google for your symptoms, I think you'll find at least half of your cases
involve firewalls blocking the DNS packets. Of the other half, you'll find home
systems still using local or ISP DNS, even when connected to a VPN with a
corporate DNS at the other end. And you'll find LSP / Winsock / TCP/IP
corruption.

You could try putting the IP address of the Exchange server in the Hosts or
LMHosts file on your home system. If your problem is simple DNS packets being
lost / blocked, that will get around the problem. Or make sure that your DNS
server is one at the other end of the VPN tunnel, and knows the address of the
Exchange server. Or diagnose the problem. I've given you plenty of references
above.

But if I keep asking questions, and you ignore the questions, we'll never get
any answers.

I looked the the web sites you sugested and read all of the info, but none
of it applyies to me or at least I don't think it does or I don't know that
it does.

browstat status and ipconfig /all did not produce anything out of ordinary.

yes SBS server is working, all of the Company's internal computers connect
to it just fine, file, printing and database (MSDE) is working, with
exception of the http://companyweb .

What other answers can I provide?
