Issue w/ connecting w/ Exchange via 5220 EVDO

Hi,
I've had a PC 5220 (Verizon) for over a year now, I do a bit of traveling & generally it works well. Prior to my latest laptop, my 5200 was used in a Dell Lattitude laptop. After connecting to the network (VZAccess) I was able to surf and, after connecting to my office via VPN, I was able to connect to my Exchange server via Outlook 2002 (I believe) and download email to my Outlook client.

Well I have a new laptop, Outlook 2003, a later version of XP and I can no longer connect to the Exchange server. I can VPN into the office server (to pick up files, etc.), but when I try to launch Outlook, it never connects to Exchange & keeps trying. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8600 (I don't have the USB issue) & works well w/ the 5220 for everything else, except for the Exchange connection.

Anyone have a clue what is going on here? Our network admin. tried several things but to no avail.

Thanks,
Bob

Disable Venturi and also see this EVDOforums thread:

Glad that solved it for you! You can read a lot more about Venturi and what it does over here:

Using Venturi Compression Software

Using Venturi can also give you false benchmarks. There are some people out there, who claim their EVDO cards, can get 3000K download speeds. Guess what? They use Venturi, you can read more about that at:
