One common problem is solved by entering the name of the Exchange server in lowercase in the Exchange client setup. If the Exchange setup isn't working, ensure that you are able to ping the Exchange server, by host name. A good ping utility is Mac TCP Watcher. ftp://ftp.share.com/pub/peterlewis/mactcpwatcher-20.sit.bin
If that doesn't work, have your sysadmin fix the DNS server, or create a
Hosts file on your Mac.

Mac's can't use a WINS server or NBT broadcast to resolve the IP address.
