Oddly enough, he says they DO have a VPN solution in place... D

This is a bad idea to open up this communication via the internet. A better solution would be to implement a VPN solution using PPTP directly to the server or another RAS Server. I'm not aware of any problems running RAS on the Exchange box but I suppose it would depend on how the Exch box is configured. If the system has one network card and points directly to the PIX as it's default gateway you should be fine. -----Original Message----- From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 1:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Client Access Well, having some familiarity with the PIX, you'd have to open around 64000 ports up to access Exchange from the internet. Unless you have hacked the registry of the Exchange server to statically assign the ports that Exchange uses for communications. However, my question still stands... If you have OWA and a VPN solution in place, WHY are you trying to access the server off of the internet? What purpose are you serving here? I'm just trying to get an understanding of what you're attempting to accomplish.
