If you cannot configure a default gateway for your network settings, you can work around this problem by adding a DWORD value that is named DefConnectOpts to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\RPC
To add this DWORD value, follow these steps.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

I think the error somewhere with either the server or the clients. It isn't a problem with the product. :ohmy:
