Problems with GMail and Outlook 2007
Ok, where to start. I have a t61 lenovo with Office 2007 pro anda sbg900 motorola wireless gateway modem. In setting up my gmail to work with Outlook 07 I have made sure all the imap port settings etc are correct, gmail set up properly but receivethe following errors: Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): The connection to the server failed. Send test email message" the operation timed out waiting for a response from (SMTP) server......Yesterday, i was at another location andgot into an unsecure network just to see and wala the gmail and outlook process worked. Sonow i realize that it has to bemymodem/firewall. I can disable myencrypted firewall on my modem and it works. Another note is under internet email settings on outlook i connect using internet explorer. So in taking with Moto today they had me disable my firewall and it worked. But i am uneasy with this setting. To make a long story not so long, Moto said i could add the outlook to port trigger on my modem but i do not know what to put in for the firewall port trigger range and protocal. Can you direct me in the right directions. With an internet security package running also but don't i want the encrypted firewall. Please help. Many Thanks
