Both me and dad are on Vista. He has 2003, I have 2007.
I dont know too much about this stuff but ive sent an email to my mate to see if can fix anything or if there is anything i need to do.

Perhaps a firmware update or try another router if you have one.
You don't need to make any configuration changes to your router just your mates which should have port 443 and 444 pointing to his Exchange server.

712076 2008-10-14 23:25:00 Perhaps you should think about what advantage this setup actually gives you
over just simply using your ISP/gmail for emails.
You will allways be at the mercy of the connection speed/reliabilty to & from you mates house (if he's maxing out his internet doing other things such as downloads/ P2P this will effect your email connection)

712077 2008-10-14 23:39:00 I have thought that it may be the router. I have a cheap DSE ADSL router (the one they give you when you signed up for jetstream many years ago).

Im going ADSL2 soon so I may get a new router and see if that fixes anything.

I will also look to see if I have my ports forwarded ( I know when I connect to his home server online I have to manually forward it to ":444").

I know I'll never have the same reliability as a big companies email system but if I can get it working it'l be awesome and I don't have to deal with waiting on hold for 2 flamin' hours!
