[WinMac] Win2K mail problems

Hello there.
Not so long ago we installed a Win2k machine with SBS2000. We are making
extensive use of Exchange (the Mac client is great), but currently we are
limited to internal email since the server refuses to pick up external POP3
mail.
Currently we operate on a dial-up connection, and Exchange's POP3 Connector
is set to collect mail from an external POP box and distribute it on an
hourly basis.
This is not happening. The server dials and establishes an ISP connection,
but is unable to make a successful connection with the external POP server,
and this is reported in the error log. Internal emails are fine, as are
outgoing messages since the SMTP Connector seems to be working fine.
I have checked MS's Knowledge Base, and the only apparently relevant article
talks of using the "real" external server name (e.g. Pop.isp.net) rather
than its IP address. I have tried both methods but with no luck.
Can anyone shed any light? It is frustrating to have such a high class
internal collaboration system, but to have to rely on Hotmail to communicate
with the outside world.
Cheers.
Giles.
