Sandy, Many companies lock down (in the firewall) the ports that can be used for outbound connections almost as much as they lock down ports for inbound connections. I'm a consultant and when I take my laptop onto a client network, I'm usually only guaranteed to have HTTP, POP3 and SMTP (and sometimes only HTTP) and rarely can I use their servers for SMTP relay, so I just always use my own.
I think this is the problem he is having, that the firewalls are locking out most ports and he can only guarantee HTTP is open. Unfortunately, this is a growing problem for Nomadic users as companies are taken are more paranoid approach to network connectivity.

Um, run webmail on a port that's allowed out? :) -Sandy Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
