Margaret, Do you network administrators ever sleep??? :-) My notes show that Microsoft released news of the RPC vulnerability on July 16. The Computer Lab began blocking some Microsoft ports at the MSU perimeter on July 30. The ports being blocked are: TCP/UDP ports 135-139, 445, and 539 Port 1434 has been blocked since circa February. We are trying to keep current status updated at: http://help.msu.edu/status/ As it happens my wife and I are ACD DSL customers. In trying to access her Outlook e-mail from MSU, we discovered that missing folders suddenly appear if we connect via the CL/Library proxy Web server; I would've thought that would make no difference. Would love to know why. /rich >OK, well then I have another question. When did MSU start blocking these >ports? Over the 4th of July weekend when MSU's DSL access died, ACD >temporarily moved me to their network so I'd have a connection. I got a >non-MSU IP address, and to my surprise, I was still able to use Outlook in >corporate mode. > >Margaret >-- >Margaret Wilson, MCSE >Manager >College of Human Medicine Information Systems >Michigan State University > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "First, Tim" <[log in to unmask]> >To: <[log in to unmask]> >Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 8:59 PM >Subject: Re: AFS access from off-campus > > >> ACD goes through MSU.
