Constantly trying to access another server?

In our environment we have an application server, a mail server, a development server, a blackberry server, and an admin server. Recently we’ve encountered the strangest thing, and I can’t recall any changes which would cause this. I also have no idea where to look to find out why this is happening.

Whenever I open my mail file, my client repeatedly shows a “connecting to {dev server} over TCPIP”.

Recently I did a rename on a client, and one thing I do is switch to the master copy of the user ID and have it accept the name change. When I did that, and opened the user’s mail file, I repeatedly saw the status bar flashing the message “connecting to {dev server} over TCPIP” and “connected to {dev server}”.

Any ideas where I can start looking for the reason for this occurring? The LOG file doesn’t appear to give me any indication. I thought maybe one of my developers put something in a main database (such as names.nsf) which might cause this, but the primary developer reported nothing has been created like this.

Is this only happening on your own machine? Check your location document, and your address book for connection documents.

If it’s happening to multiple people, take a look at your DNS server - maybe someone changed an IP address/name resolution.
