attaching MS Outlook to Exchange

[110877]

Hi guys,
Can anyone help me?
I have this problem;
When I tried to set up MS Outlook and selecting Microsoft Exchange Sever for the SERVER TYPE. Put in the IP address for the exchange, then username and when I click on "check name" I get this error message "The action could not be complete. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list" what do I have to do to resolve the problem?

Many thanks,
Patrick

Put the server name in the box. If it still comes up as not matched, check to make sure the account is not hidden in the GAL

How to check if the account is not hidden in GAL?

I have exchange in a test enviro. All servers(win 2k3) have 10.xx.xx addresses attached with a switch w/o any outside internet connection.
One server is GC, second has exhange, third has outlook. I can access my account thru OWA but cannot coonect to exchange via outlook. All setup steps are succesfull. Kindly help me.
Cheers

One more thing. I can use POP3 option to connect my outlook with exchange its only the "exchange server" that is giving me "name can't be resolved error
