Hi,

I need someone to guide me thru the process of being able to access my OL
from the web. I think I need a dyndns account for that? Willing to pay for
help.

We have a LAN with W2K Server and MS Exchange. Clients are XP Pro.
We have cable and a router (Symantec/Nexland VPN 200).

Someone did it for me once but the guy is ill and I'd like to have it up and
running.

;-)

If your Exchange admins have enabled external Outlook Web Access and you
have an ISP by which you can connect to the Internet, then you can use a web
browser to connect to the URL your Exchange admins can give you, enter your
Exchange credentials, and see whatever is in your Exchange mailbox. You
will not, of course, be able to access any folders stored on a PC at work,
since OWA is a web interface into Exchange and doesn't know anything about
your local or any other PC.

Alternatively, if your company has a VPN in place that you can access from
the Internet, you have Internet access on the PC you're using, and you have
Outlook installed on that PC, you should be able to connect via VPN to your
copany's network and connect directly to the Exchange server with the local
copy of Outlook, setting up the Exchange account in that local Outlook to
match the Exchange account on the work PC. As long as your delivery
location remains the Exchange mailbox on the PC you're using, the data
should remain in the server so that it can be accessed both on the PC you're
currently using and on the one at work.
