I don't know PIX i'm afraid. We use Checkpoint. DES-based IPSEC. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Lanyon [mailto:elanyon@xxxxxxx] Sent: 15 April 2002 5:22 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: wireless access http://www.MSExchange.org/ On the firewall, do you use Radius? 3DES? IPSEC? We are looking to implement the VPN through our PIX box. >>> AndreaCoppini@xxxxxxxx 04/15/02 01:12AM >>> http://www.MSExchange.org/ If he wants to access the folders ONLINE (ie. Directly on the server), he simply has to set up Outlook on his laptop and Pocket Outlook on his PDA to connect to the exchange server, just as you would any regular PC. A couple of things to consider though. 1> Firewall If you have a firewall between your exch. Server and the internet, you probably (should) have 'exchange-specific' ports closed to the internet, so the PDA/laptop would not be able to access it online over a standard ISP connection. Solution to this would be to use a VPN (we do this and works nicely) to create an encrypted tunnel between the laptop/pda and the firewall. There are VPN clients available for Pocket PC for most VPN firewalls. 2> Costs Accessing a mailbox online over a mobile phone can be quite costly, since the user will stay connected and send/recieve packets for the entire duration of Outlook being open. You might want to consider using Offline folders and setting up an 802.11b or Bluetooth small LAN for this guy to synchronize his mailbox with exchange when in his office. He will then be able to access it offline, but he obviously won't recieve any new mails.

With respect to the Exchange configuration there is nothing different. The only thing that wehave done is set up syncronisation in Outlook. This way when they disconnect Outlook sends and syncronises everything on the server with everything on the laptop. Not sure if this answers your question or not. - maybe I got the wrong impression.

I am running Exch 2000 SP2. I'm not sure what configuration is necessary here - anyone know what I need to do here?
