Outlook across VPN and domains

[Jason-Personal]

I have a user who is temporarily working in my office. we have a vpn
to our office in another city. I can ping the exchange server there
and resolve it by name, but our AD are completely seaperate. We are
actually seperate companies and do not wish to merge our domains.

But outlook cannot resolve the name to the exchange server in the
other domain. I can ping it, I can connect to it via telnet, but
Outlook refuses to resolve it.

Are you using cached mode or online? Does it work if you set up a hosts
file?
