MS Exchange
Neod to help sorting out an on going problem.
Currently have a network with SBS 2003, with MS Exchange. Via a wired hub there are two PCs connected and wireless there is 2 laptop.
This system is:
a) not stable
b) very slow getting emails
c) Outlook does not always connect
I need to have access for all m/cs to emails and internet.
Is there a better solution as this is a PITA
Any help very much appreciated.

Who has configured your exchange server?
Have you configured the DNS on your Server?
Are the emails being forwarded by your hosting company to the right address?
Have you just installed this server?
Sorry its a lot of questions, but your post is sketchy.
MS knowledge base is a good starting point if you dont wish to disclose your server details here.
When you say hub, do you mean router? Or is the server assigning DHCP or are you using static IP for your networked machines?

Not sure about DNS as I'm not technical
I use 1and1 and most of the time the emails come through however I was logged on their site and noticed 2 emails, I waited the 15mins it takes exchange to collect emails, however these 2 emails never appeared, whether exchange rejected them I do not know, they did not appear in Spam either. Very strange/
Last night the laptop and PCs all said disconnected from Exchange, tried rebooting m/cs, the only way around this was to reboot the serverm these cannot be normal.
It is a router I'm using.
I'll look at the MS knowledge base
Thanks

Sounds like the server is using a default setup, which needs to be configured with your own settings.
The email forwarding is one of the 1st things I would setup, this ensures the emails are delivered to your server. Then you have to configure the server to deliver to a mailbox.
Do you know if the forwarding is done via domain name or IP?
It would suggest the problems you are having could be DNS based.
Correctly configured, the PC's/Laptops need to be using the DNS from the server ie: 192.168.1.2 not the DNS from the router 192.168.1.1
The DNS will need to be flushed from the server and refreshed. This sounds dramatic but its not really.
All it does is transfer the old DNS to the new DNS.
