Trouble connecting to Exchange

For the last couple of weeks, whenever I, or users on my
network try to open outlook XP connecting to an exchange
2000 server, it is always delayed and we receive the
following error message, "Your Microsoft Exchange Server
is unavailable". We click on retry and another couple of
minutes go by at which point we are presented with the
same error and clicking retry either brings us into
outlook or we get the message again until we finally get
it. My exchange server is running fine and I just
rebooted the server to see if something was hung up, I am
the only user currently on my network, and after
rebooting the server I am still presented with the same
scenario. Can anyone help me trace the cause of this
problem?
 
Make sure your Global Catalog server is happy. (reboot if necessary)

Is DNS and WINS name resolution working okay?
 
Neo,
DNS and WINS are both looking fine. I also rebooted
my two Global Catalog Servers and am still having the
same problem. Any other ideas?

Any changes to the network lately? (e.g. A GC that was taken offline?)

Neo,
Thanks, the problem was I had a GC on a subnet/vlan
that was protected from the affected computers. I took
away the GC status on that server, and everyone is
working fine now. Thanks!!
