I need to configure a mac laptop running Microsoft office (2011, I think?) so outlook will work when the laptop is on the LAN and when out of the office. &nbsp;The other people in the office have desktops and use OWA when out of the office.<br />
<br />
this laptop will be in and out of the office.<br />
<br />
There is a home windows PC that gets to the exchange server OK over the network, so the firewall IS set up OK for machines to get to the exchange server from outside.<br />
<br />
I just don't know what I need to know for the mac to work both in and outside the network.<br />
<br />
thanks!
