How do I configure Outlook for CW over a Comcast cable connection with port 135 blocked?

[Harley]

Is there a workaround? Installing a VPN has its own set of problems.

Harley,

Unfortunately, if you aren't using Outlook 2003 with Exchange 2003 you will
not be able to connect with Exchange if port 135 is blocked. So, your
options include:

1. Use OWA.
2. Use VPN
3. Use a terminal server client
4. connect via POP3 or IMAP
5. Upgrade to Outlook 2003 & Exchange 2003 (on Windows 2003) so you can take
advantage of the new RPC over HTTP feature.

Hope this helps.
