I gave you the answer you wanted, 28 minutes after you posed the question, with the requisite precautions.
You're welcome. It's been over two days, go implement it the way you want. -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Connelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Friday, November 02, 2001 5:49 PM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Accessing Exchange from Outlook 2k through firewall Subject: RE: Accessing Exchange from Outlook 2k through firewall 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
