It's obvious to us... Did we have any reason to believe it was obvious to you? > Or... perhaps I should have been clearer?

It certainly isn't clear on the MS Knowledgebase. We were helping you. You might not have liked the answer, ut that doesn't mean it isn't correct. The issue is also covered in the E2K portion of the FAQ in the FAQ link below I believe. Not sure how good it is since I wrote it... But it's there. > 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. Check the FAQ pls and then if you have specific questions about the ports in question we can attempt to further refine the answer... Although VPN is still the best answer.
