914.0. "Network Delay/Hops = Not Responsing?" by TROOA::NAISH (Paul. [email protected] 626-3137) Mon Mar 03 1997 21:23

    I'm at the NT Wizards this weel in Seattle and experiencing problems
    working with my Exchange Server in Kanata Canada.
    
    I'm dialed in over a local PPP port in SEO. I can start Exchange,
    answer  all prompts and passwords for Exchange and MAPI for ALL-IN-1. I
    then see the Exchange window with messages listed but never get
    control. The task manager shows Exchange is not responding.
    
    I have no problem with Teamlinks except for speed.
    
    I'm 8 hops away from KAOEXC1 and wonder if there is a registry entry I
    need adjust for network delay.
    
    Thanks

Solved it.

I had to set the DNS and WIN Server addresses for the local office.

Weird behavior. It stated up, verified the login then stalled.

... and anytime you need to do Windows Networking to 
some machine that is not in Wins or doesn't play well...
put it in 

C:\WINDOWS\LMHOSTS.     as

<ip num>     <short name>   <fqdn name>   #PRE

(Tip:  search your machine, Win95 or WinNT, for a file
called LMHOSTS.SAM.  Put in your entries, then save as
LMHOSTS.  with no extension on the filename)

The #PRE tells Windows Networking to "pre-load" the 
Windows Networking NetBIOS name table cache at the 
startup of the network software.  It will never have to 
resolve this name.  I use it for some Alphas running
NT that aren't resolved via WINS, but I still want to
reach their drive shares.  Same goes for Exchange.
