I am unable to connect to the server using the Mac Outlook client, why?

A. The first point is you can't use WINS with a Mac. (unless you usea third party product, e.g. http://www.thursby.com/)

If you utilize Exchange, The connection to the Exchange server needs theresolved name of the IP address. You will need to enter the IP address for thename of your Exchange server instead of the name. It is also possible to usethe Appletalk Protocol to connect to the Exchange server. Select your choice inthe OL Setup.

If you utilize a Internet Providers EMAIL (POP), then enter the InternetProviders POP and SMTP servers IP address instead of the name. Replacemail.myserver.net with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address of server).

This is because outlook supports an older version of Socks than Proxyserver. The older version of Socks does not support DNS or named servers. Thereare ways to get around this but are far more complicated than just entering theip address of the server.
