Hello there,
I got a new laptop for work running Vista and outlook 2007 and no matter how
many times I tried setting it up to connect to the exchange server 2003, I
always get the message that outlook is not connected and it needs to be
connected to complete this action....
I used to have a laptop running XP and outlook 2003 and it worked fine with
the same mailbox settings .

Any ideas please?

are you inside the network or trying to connect for the first time over the
internet?
