Outlook 2003 via network with proxy

[Mike Lischke]

Hi all,

I have a configuration in my little home network where one machine is connected to the internet and another one is using the ICS to get connected too. The "online machine" has a special configuration using a local proxy for a satellite connection, which works very well with all internet connections. The second machine can connect via http by specifying the first machine as proxy (192.168.0.1, port 8080), which also works very well.

The only problem is Outlook 2003 on the second machine. For http I can specify a proxy making so the connection work, for Outlook I did not find anything like that and so I always get a connection error. Does anyone of you have solution for this problem.

Mike

Hi Mike,

I have pretty much the same setup as you only I am not
using ICS (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3 etc all run through my
proxy server on 192.168.0.2 machine)

I have even got as far as Anti-Virus scanning my test
messages (starts the process on the proxy machine but then
time-out in Outlook on the client....

Hopefully someone out there has experience of a fix... my
network is really secure now but I can't use Outlook!
