OK, that helps clarify then.

1) Are you sure you didn't mistype either the IP address inside of
Outlook then?

2) Normally the network daemons can be configured for verbose logging
to look at people trying to hack in. What is it on your RH machine?
xinetd or something like that? If so can you configure that option,
restart the daemon, and then try logging in using Outlook and seeing
what the logs say?

(Sorry - I don't personally run any flavor of RH anymore except my
son's one machine and even it is becoming something else this summer.)

3) You could try putting something like ethereal on the RH machine and
see if it will tell you what's going on. It should be very good at
describing what the WinXP box is doing, assuming the connection is
being made at all.

Unfortunately it seems to me that we don't know which side the problem
lies on - Linux not allowing the connection or XP/Outlook not making
it.
