I am having problems with my Exchange server for Outlook 2007.
This is because no matter how I try, I can’t access the Exchange server for Outlook 2007 while outside the network.
I however can access the Exchange server for Outlook 2007 from within the network with no problem.
I use Exchange 2010 and Client access outlook 2007.
I think there is a need to change some setting since I can access OWA from outlook.
Please assist me.
Outlook 2007 Exchange server is inaccessible outside network
This problem may occur if the Outlook 2007 client computer does not have a default gateway configured.
If you cannot configure a default gateway for your network settings, you can work around this problem by adding a DWORD value that is named DefConnectOpts to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice12.0OutlookRPC
