I am in the process of setting up groupwise 5.5 on win98/NT/2000 machines, I have gone through everything that I can think of to link to the outside account, we can talk to each other internally but cannot get mail from our ISP.

What am I doing wrong. Our network support has quit us I guess, neither one ever return my call. I guess maybe they think I should know more than I do??

Hi....

I run 2 Lans 75 miles apart and use GroupWise 5.5 via TCP/IP. I run NAT on my router and have the GroupWise client configured to the Public IP address of my router. My ISP has the MX record pointing to my server which I statically assigned a private address to. On the GW 5.5 client use a switch under the properties of the GW client: C:\Novell\Groupwise\grpwise.exe /@u-?. This will give the screen to configure your TCP/IP address and port (1677). You can then configure the questionmark to the users GW id so it will automactically login. I have the notify configured this way in the startup file so it will automatcally log in the user on boot up. The auto only works for 98. The 2000/XP PCs have to use a different windows messaging that doesn't have the option to remember password.

hope this helps...

Are you using the GWIA? This the agent run on the server to act as the Internet Gateway.

There could be many problems. Can you ping external addresses from the server? You may have the gateway, or other IP settings wrong on the internal server. If all your internal clients are on a single segment, and they can connect to the PO, then this is likley.

Too many possible problems. Can you give more info? At lease try;

1) From NW server console
LOAD PING

2) Enter an internal address, another server router etc.

3) Press and add a public address like your ISPs DNS server.

4) Press and add www.novell.com

What responded. If all respond, then its not IP and we can move on.
