WHY DOES OUTLOOK 2007 NEED A DEFAULT GATEWAY?????? "Craigster" <cbricco[ at ]mwrgl.com> 5/15/2007 6:33:51 PM No answer yet from anyone so asking again: My NIC has no default gateway address as the Exchange server is local, but Outllook 2007 won't connect unless a DG in specified, even if it is a false randomly choosen number, then it will find the excahnge server and connect. How do I disable this MS "helpful" NIC configuration checking????

I noticed your previous posts - one thing is for sure, no one in office.setup will know the answer. Have you tried the Exchange newsgroups or Microsoft networking groups? Did you say you were running TS? If so, have you tried there and if you are running TS you probably have a huge support contract, did you phone them?
