To all those who suggested the obvious (RE: Big, bold, V P N).... well, I guess, thanks for nothing!
Or... perhaps I should have been clearer? This is a temporary measure until I put in a real firewall. I'm going through the steps to obtain the money for a real firewall with VPN management. In the meantime (about another 3 weeks) I must allow access to remote mail to a select group of employees. The current (temporary) firewall (appliance) only allows one VPN session at a time so VPN is not feasible at this time. I'm not at all comfortable with so many open ports and I though (mistakenly?) that someone from this group would be willing to help me. It certainly isn't clear on the MS Knowledgebase. I no longer have a problem with off-line email and the msg, "Msg: The attempt to log on to the MS Exchange Server has failed."; that seems to have gone away for no particular reason. All I ask is what specific ports require forwarding until I can get the money I require to purchase a good firewall.

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. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
