I see you have two IP addresses on your server - 128.97.213.11 and
192.168.1.100. Usually the 192.168.xxx.xxx range is used for internal
networking. If that is the case you may need to modify your lmhosts files to
reflect those addresses. Are the 128.97.213.xxx range used for internet
access or ipsec tunnel?? The network adapters used for internal networking
should also be at the top of the priority list such as shown in network
connections/advanced/advanced settings for Windows 2003. I am not sure about
your question with Exchange, but you probably could find an answer in one of
the Exchange newsgroups. The link below may also be helpful in
troubleshooting the RPC server is unavailable message. --- Steve
