If both the user name and server name resolve in the "Exchange Server"
service property sheet within the MAPI client profile, the issue is not
likely the firewall.

Subject: [FW1] MS Exchange 5.5 to work with
Checkpoint 2000
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
