Unable to contact exchange server

[Guest]

I had Office XP installed on my system. I uninstalled it and then did a clean
installation of Office 2003. On openeing Microsoft Outlook, by default it
asks you to create a Mail Profile. On choosing the Microsoft Exchange Server
option, it tries to connect to the exchange server. Every time I do this, I
encounter a error message - Could not connect to Exchange Server. Try working
offline.

If I follow the same procedure with Office XP installed on my system, the
job is done within a minute.

The OS installed on my system is Win2000 Adv Server Service Pack 4.

I looked everywhere for an answer to this. What worked for me was going to
http://office.microsoft.com/officeupdate/maincatalog.aspx?lc=en-us and
making sure Office 2003 SP1 was installed. Cleared up the problem
immediately.
