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 are:
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?

Are you just trying to connect directly to your Exchange server over the
Internet? If so, it's probably your company's firewall that's causing your
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.

Outlook Web Access uses the standard HTTP ports 80 and 443. Whether OWA
works or not has nothing to do with whether Outlook works or not, since they
don't access Exchange by the same method. Peter's correct. It's highly
unlikely that Comcast is blocking any ports because you're not using the
Comcast ports. Comcast blocks specific ports on their own servers and can't
control what ports are available on your company's servers. Your
assumptions are flawed.

I just upgraded to Outlook 2007, and suddenly I am no longer able to connect to my exchange server that is hosted by 4smartphone through my Comcast internet. However, if I change the same computer over to my AT&T DSL internet it works just fine. What can I go to comcast with to ask them to change on their servers??

Ask Comcast or your Exchange mail host - no one here can help you with your personal configuration issues.

I am having the same issue...there seems to be a problem and RPC over HTTP is
not working either. It did not happen with office 2003 and the "loss" of
connection only happens at home through Comcast. When I change NO settings,
and go to a free wifi spot I can connect no problem. OWA is accessible
always, but I would rather use Outlook. Do they have a fix for 2007 yet that
I may be missing? I found a workaround here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913843/en-us
but I do not have the RPC key in the registry...very frustrating.
