Hi Marina,

OK. I've changed our configuration around a bit. Removed the router, and
now the cable modem is directly connected to the external network card.
Below is the ipconfig/all info. You can now see that the cards are on
different networks. Mail gets picked up by the POP3 connector as it did
before, however, still no luck with the messages getting to the exchange
mailboxes.
