MessageThanks for the info Steve, Turns out that the patch we used doesn't block port 135, but SBC, Cox Communications, and perhaps thousands of independent ISPs have now blocked port 135 traffic from their bandwidth. That is the root of our evil anyway. Looks like I'll be spending some time discovering how to run IMAP across multiple sites. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Moffat To: [ExchangeList] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 3:24 PM Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Problem accessing Exchange Server remotely using Outlook http://www.MSExchange.org/ The patch blocks port 135...:(( HTH Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Craig Weil [mailto:craig_weil@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 4:47 PM To: [ExchangeList] http://www.MSExchange.org/ We are using a Speedstream DSL modem (assigned 32 IP addresses through SBC). The DSL modem then goes into a switch where other devices plug in and we manually configure their individual IP addresses. These devices include a Netopia R9100 router, an Exchange server, a web server, etc... The Netopia serves LAN ip addresses to our clients in the building so they don't individually have routable IP addresses. The whole system was working great until around Tuesday night or so. Our web services are running perfectly. The only issue I'm having (that I'm aware of) is that retrieving email through an IMAP client will not work so long as the machine doing so is either not on our LAN or not on the same subnet as the Exchange server. Good luck to all of you having this issue, although luck can't turn a wrench. :) Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: Chip Liu To: [ExchangeList] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 12:33 PM Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Problem accessing Exchange Server remotely using Outlook http://www.MSExchange.org/ Also, what kind of equipment do you have? A Cisco PIX firewall? -----Original Message----- From: David Liles [mailto:dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 2:26 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: RE: [exchangelist] Re: Problem accessing Exchange Server remotely using Outlook We also started experiencing a similar issue.... from OWA users can access email... internally they can access email.... externally they get an error indicating the Exchange server is not available.... -----Original Message----- From: Craig Weil [mailto:craig_weil@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thu 8/14/2003 2:21 PM To: [ExchangeList] Cc: Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Problem accessing Exchange Server remotely using Outlook http://www.MSExchange.org/ Having an odd issue with that myself. We have DSL service with multiple IP addresses assigned to it. One IP address is assigned to our Exchange 2000 server, one of the IP addresses is assigned to a Netopia router which then provides NAT addressing to our users in the building. With that said, any computer that is either receving a NAT address from the Netopia or any computer with a routable IP in the same subnet as the Exchange server can retrieve email from Exchange 2000 with no problem. However, any computer outside our building cannot connect to our Exchange server via IMAP, but can via OWA. DNS queries against Exchange from outside the building work fine. Any ideas? It's almost as if our DSL modem suddenly decided to start filtering, but it's a standard SpeedStream modem provided by SBC (PacBell). An interesting twist... from outside of our building, if you establish a VPN connection with our Netopia router, you can access Exchange via Outlook (IMAP). All machines connecting via POP3 from outside our building receive their email as well (vpn or not). Kinda getting me nutty! Thanks all! Craig A.
