Outlook/exchange and firewall
What ports do i have to open on an Exchange Server 2000 in order to connect a outlook client over the internet. Exchange Server is behind the Firewall. If i take the firewall off, everything works fine. It's 3com office connect firewall. I already open the ExchangeSA and ExchangeIS ports on the Exchange Server and also on the firewall. Errors Msg: problem connecting to the exchange server.
ildc
port 21 open ?
You will need to some ports on firewall (NOT Exchange server)
25 SMTP
110 POP3
443 SSL
143 IMAP4 (if you're using Pocket PC)
80 & 480 HTTP + OWA

i'm having no problem connecting OWA to the exchange server. Only problem i'm getting when i try to connect outlook 2000. Ports are already open on the firewall.
Outlook will use Computer name to access Exchange server. When you use Outlook to access your EX via Internet, it can not resolve the name to IP address because your computer is not in local network (No WINS).
You will need to add a line to resolve EX computer name manually in HOSTS file (on your computer)
xx.xx.xxx.xxxx your EX computer name
ex: 207.56.23.126 emailserver
Try to ping EX server name from your computer
open Outlook properties and put in exchange server name.
It should work.

Anyone heard of Security. Try VPN.
Oh if your current firewall does not have the VPN option.

I don't think so that i have to add the line in the Hosts file. It's bcas if i take the firewall off or open all the ports on the firewall, it works fine, no problem at all. I have already open the following ports:
25 SMTP
110 POP3
443 SSL
143 IMAP4 (if you're using Pocket PC)
80 & 480 HTTP + OWA
There is still one more port that need to be open, i have no clue which one.
About VPN
Is that the best soloutions for deploying exchange, if i don't am i opening doors for hackers, eventhoug i have a firewall.
Thanks
