Remember that port 25 is for sending and receiving mail between servers. The question is whether or not they can connect to either pop3 or IMAP for client to server communications. This depends on whether or not you've enabled these protocols on the server, and also, obviously, if they are filtered by a firewall or proxy at any point between the two of you.
-----Original Message----- From: Wendy Reetz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 August 2002 15:06 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: server access newbie question... we have a user that wants to install outlook 2000 on their home machine & access our exchange server using his road runner connection instead of the dial-up into the network. It fails, can't find the server. He can telnet to port 25, however. So, it appears you have to be connected to the LAN to be able to find the server through outlook. OWA works fine. is this normal? necessary operation of exchange server? network configuration? his machine? All I have access to is my exchange server, so, I just need some direction on where the problem might be, if it even is a problem...my exchange server, the network, or the guy's computer. Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ 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]
