Help

I am new to all this and being 75 doesn¹t help.

I have Mac:Office 2004 and don¹t have the foggiest idea what I am doing
relative to ?Exchange¹. I have a D-link DI-624M (wireless router) and
connect via DSL (Verizon) I also have a Windows XP computer using ?Office¹
and it also connected (LAN) connected via the same DSL connection.
What sort of settings do I need to set this up correctly?

Since most 75-yr-olds are retired, lemme ask: do you actually have an
Exchange account? Exchange, as far as I know, is for corporate systems and
you would only need to worry about it if your employer is running an
Exchange server or some such.

If you just want to check the email coming from your Verizon account, you
would set Entourage up to check it as a POP account and ignore the whole
Exchange issue. The Verizon site probably has information on setting up POP
access to their accounts.

So the settings depend on who is providing your email account.

Not necesasrely. You can get an account on an Exchange server for
personal use. Some web hosting companies even give you the option to use
Exchange.
Unless you're working with a large number of people who need to
coordonate appoitments and so forth I fond it a little overkill: you're
not using most of the functions that are interesting in Exchange
(delegates, appoitments sharing and so forth), but why not.

Exchange on ENtourage does through the same ports of HTTP or HTTPS. It
shouldn't be an issue. I don't think there is any need for you to open
any port on your Wireless router.
On the other hand, if the server is on an intranet you have to make sure
it's open to the "outside world".
Can you connect to the server by webmail in your web browser ??
