Browse w/ a mac through SBS?
Is it possible to browse the internet through MS Proxy 2.0 running on an SBS 4.0 Server? Also can you run outlook 97/98 on mac OS 7+ and connect to the SBS Exchange Server?
What is a SBS 4.0 server?
Regarding MS Proxy, the answer is yes. Proxy servers are supposed to be able to take different clients/platforms and allow them network access.
Regarding outlook98, maybe, depends on which System 7.???
System 7.1 = Maybe (according to M$ website)
System 7.5 = Much more likely

SBS 4.0 server = NT 4.0 Small Business Server.

Yes on Proxy. Just tell the mac the IP address of your proxy server and it works
Yes on exchange. But you have to turn on Services for Macintosh on the Exchange server. Outlook for Macintosh, Exchange Server Edition is actually the name of the program, not Outlook 97 or 98. It's not the most stable program though....it doesn't play nice with ATM sometimes and is strangely slow to connect to the exchange server.

I increased the points, you are so close to an answer just one more point on it, when i try to connect to the exchange server the host is not found, i have to put in the actual ip address for there is no DNS server on the network. How can i write a hosts file for this problem to import into mac, i tried one, but it gave me an invalid line error. Thanks.
