    pc quit talking to exchange server

    WIN-XP Pc was fine friday, but on Monday it would not talk to exchange server.

    Using Outlook 2007

    connection to network is fine.
    connection to internet is fine.

    connection to exchange server is on local network
    can ping exchange fine

    removed fraud.xpantivirus
    nothing else found by Antivirus or Antispyware tools

    control panel: mail setup cannot talk to exchange either

    any ideas what to look for?

    account is still valid with password. tested access on another machine.


    tried to update to sp2 2007 but it failed , near the end it had a RPC shutdown issue but failed before the 60 sec timer finished.

    Try running Malwarebytes on the PC. It is still infected with something nasty.

    You need to specify what programs you ran. Not all apps are created equal, especially old junk like Adaware and Spybot.

    Spyware Terminator is junk (it used to be on the rogue antispyware list). Superantispyware is good.

    That is really strange. Try the Winsock fix.

    This sounds like an RPC firewall issue. Try adding the server's IP to the trusted side of the firewall.

    make sure this service is running Wired AutoConfig

    Depending what SP level Windows is at, it may or may not be there

    thanks for the replies. I ended up reinstalling. Had to get it back up and running.
    Luckily I could pull all data off.
