Here's a better idea: Since you have to punch numerous holes in your firewall in order to accomplish this task, and since these numerous holes will pretty much render your firewall useless, just save yourself some trouble.
Remove the firewall from the equation completely and send it to me. At least I would know what to do with it.

I would like to do the same. What firewall are you using?

By process of elimination, I have discovered that the forwarding the following ports works (sort of): 23-31,50,80,110,119,123,143 100-150 4500-5000 Obviously, I'd like to narrow down the 100-150 and 4500-5000. Though I can finally read and respond to email, I found that my offline folders have disappeared from my laptop (not sure if this was a coincidence or not) and attempting to re-instate the offline folders gives me the following error: >From tools/Off-line folder settings: Msg: You must configure an offline folder before you can use this folder offline. Would you like to configure an offline folder now? Response: yes Msg: The attempt to log on to the MS Exchange Server has failed. Why this happening? Remember while attempting this operation, I am already successfully connected to the Exchange server. My only guess is that I need to forward more port numbers through the firewall. I have search through the MS Knowledgebase, my Exchange server manuals, other on-line support sites, Slapstick, etc. Your help is greatly appreciated, Shawn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ----------------------------------------------------- Shawn Connelly, Network Engineer.
