Outlook 2007 does't connect without default gateway setup

I have a problem that Outlook 2007 does not connect to our mail server when
there is no default gateway setup in our TCP/IP settings. We all run on one
subnet (192.168.1.x) and keep some computers from getting Internet access by
not setting the default gateway. Outlook 2007 shows that it is disconnected
on these computers. When I do a Send/Receive, I get the following error:

Task 'Microsoft Exchange' reported error (0x8004011D): 'The server is not
available. Contact your administrator if this condition persists.'

If I assign a default gateway on these computers, they connect to the mail
server fine. Our mail server is Exchange 2003 on our local network. We also
have DNS setup on our internal network. Is there a way to get Outlook to work
without setting up the default gateway in TCP/IP?

Thanks,
Jason
