What are your objectives?

I would suggest maybe just POP the box, unless you want the Exchange
Address Book/Public Folders/etc. Or better yet, implement a published
application via Citrix and create a connection that way. ;-)

Personally, I am not in favor of opening any more ports than absolutely
necessary.

Why are you doing this?  You need to open more ports than what you have
=3D
selected.  Mainly, the GC port, port 135, possibly 139.  Why not use a =
=3D
VPN connection?  If you have Windows 2000, use RRAS.  If not, then look
=3D
for a project called Wolverine.  It's a small distro that will give you
=3D
PPTP VPN support.  Very easy to setup, and is Linux based.

Hi Everyone,  I've been working on this for the better half of the day =
=3D
and can't seem to get anywhere.  I'm trying to setup an Outlook client =
=3D
to connect to my Exchange 2K server.  The Outlook client is outside the
=3D
firewall connected via the internet.  I already setup the =3D
HLKM\System\CurrentControlSet\Service\MSExchangeDS\Parameters,
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem to
=3D
point to static port.  I also configured the firewall already for those
=3D
2 ports.=3D3D20

When I start the Outlook client, I get "Exchanger server unavailable". =
=3D
Oh, I also set up the hosts file to point to the right ip address for =
=3D
the exchange server.

Thanks for any help

Vince
