Are you just trying to connect directly to your Exchange server over the

problem as much as anything. Your choices of getting Outlook to work are to
either use a VPN and run Outlook through that, or use RPC over HTTP. Check
with your IT department for details.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently using Outlook 2007 and cannot conect to my companies
Microsoft Exchange Server. I use Comcast as my internet service
provider. I am able to use our webclient through IE to do my daily
emails, but its really a pain not to be able to use Outlook. So I am
looking for a fix.

When I travel, I am able to connect from hotels (I am guessing since
they don't have any ports blocked) so I know my account is set up
correctly.

I read about comcast "blocking" ports that MES uses to communicate,
but am not able to find a fix for this. So my questions a

Is there a way around this?
What other options do I have? (ex. getting an at&t wireless internet
card to use from home)
Any other suggestions/tips/info?

I can connect to microsoft outlook web access vie mail.ourdomain.com/
exchange just fine. What I am trying to do is be able to use my
outlook client (the actually application on my laptop) to connect with
MES to receive/send mail/calender/contacts. I can only use outlook for
other email address that are pop3 not MES, since outlook won't connect
to our exchange server (reportedly because Comcast blocks the port)
