office 2007 and exchange

[macca]

we are trying to connect office 2007 to the exchange server but everytime we try to create an account we get the error

"the connection to microsoft exchange is unavailable. your network adaptor does not have a default gateway"

we are drawing up blanks when ever we try anything

any ideas guys

I would think its likely that

your network adaptor does not have a default gateway

Does the PC have a default gateway set? (start, run, cmd, ipconfig /all)

Maybe the first google result for searching "your network adaptor does not have a default gateway" will help

Do not blindly follow the instructions, check the gateway, if the pc is dhcp then add the values to the dhcp server to be pushed out.

Office 2007 needs a default gateway for exchange to work end of story.

Erm, unless you follow the workaround described in the KB in which case it works perfectly.
