Hello all --

I am trying to configure my FW-1 to allow users from various subnets
(VPN and other local) to access an MS Exchange server I have on a local
segment.

The Exchange server is running the Exchange protocol for client
access... So far, I haven't been able to connect correctly.

FW-1 logs are showing no dropped packets (just a few on port 135
*accepted* and then nothing else) but the Outlook (97 or 2000) fail to
connect (Error: Outlook cannot open your default mail folders -- Would
you like to open your default file system instead?)

I am thinking it could be one of a couple things:

-- FW-1 is somehow dropping packets I don't know about

-- I need to set up WINS in order for Exchange to communicate with hosts
on other subnets (but I don't think so, because I'm pretty sure people
can access Exchange right over the Internet if there is no firewall).

-- Something else??

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of setup with Exchange
5.5?  I am running Checkpoint 4.1 SP2 under Linux.  Everything else is
running fine.

Also, I tried disabling the "silent service" drop, but that did not
improve the situation.  For now, my policies Are ANY ANY ANY in both
directions between subnets.

Thanks,
John
