Ah - that's right - I remember discussion of that service before I left :)
I'd still do the port scan - that will definitively tell you what you can
talk to on the Exchange server, and I'm guessing 135 isn't getting through
for one reason or another...

Rob,
MSU DSL users have *MSU* IP addresses, which is why we've been able to use
Outlook in corporate mode. If MSU has changed something, I'd sure like to
hear about it.
Regards,
Margaret

HI Margaret - been a while :) This is very likely a blocking issue at the
ISP - I'm pretty sure 135 is required for "normal" Outlook connectivity:

You can do a simple scan of the Exchange Server's IP address with something
like SuperScan:

From home on your MSU DSL connection - and see what shows up...
good luck :)

Subject: Outlook in Corporate Mode Not Working
I have an MSU DSL connection, hence a 35.11.x.x IP address. Sometime within
the last few days, Outlook in corporate mode has stopped working for me. I
get prompted for a password, and then after a l-o-n-g pause, I'm told my
Exchange Server is unavailable. I'm then prompted to work offline, retry or
cancel. I've checked with Health Team IS (who manage the Exchange Server)
and am told that they have changed nothing recently, and that the server is
working fine. What's the status of campus port blocking? Any idea why I
can no longer use Outlook in corporate mode? I have users complaining about
this too.
Thx!
Margaret
