For testing, I would disable WFW, and if that fixes it, then you will need to open some ports to make it work with WFW enabled. ________________________________ From: Jabber Wock [mailto:jabberwock99@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 4:47 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] XP Windows Firewall exception rules? http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi, I have a user running Outlook 2003 Pro trying to connect to Exchange 2003 over the internet using RPC/HTTP. He is also running Windows Firewall (the one that comes with XP SP2). He is unable to connect, it times out on him when he starts up Outlook. He is able to connect from a workstation that is not running the WFW. No other users are having any issues with RPC/HTTP over the internet. OWA is also OK for him and everyone else. Any idea what kind of exception rule(s) need to be programmed into his XP Windows FW so he can access the Exchange 2003 server over RPC/HTTP?
