Hi Sam, You haven't asked a stupid question. It really depends on the firewall you are using. It may indeed, be necessary to have these ports open so both Activesync and KeySync work as expected. You would need to consult the firewall documentation so you are in a position to determine what is being blocked, both externally and internally and what isn't. From this information, you will obviously be able to see whether it is necessary to have all these ports open, though if things aren't working right when these ports aren't open ... you have your answer!

I unblocked the following ports in my router: 990, 999, 9613, and both tCP and UDP ports 5678 and 5679. Do I really need to have all of these ports unblocked in order for it to work, or since all the activity is occurring behind the firewall, do any of them need to be unblocked? > > Sorry for asking such a stupid question. > > Sam > > Dean Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Sam, > > You are indeed, able to do this.
