Office communicator is to be used in a domain environment.
Yes you can use hotmail, but you need a license for it.

You have to configure the OC Server correctly to have this work.

Google office communicator hotmail and you should get some answers.

Hello, I just purchased a license for MS Office 2010 Professional Plus whic
includes Office Communicator 2007 R2. I have the same exact problem a
"Andrea" submitted one year ago but cannot see a resolution in th
chain

I want to use this for my home account with my hotmail. I don't have syste
admin. I have contacted my ISP, Microsoft and the manufacturer of the compute
to pursue all avenues. The first level of support cannot help me

From what I can assess, in order to configure my settings I need to (a) fin
ou
what my internal IP address is and; (b) find my external IP address

Question: can someone tell me how I determine items a & b listed above?
Many thanks.

If none of them can help you, how can anyone here?

*unhelpful and needless snide comment removed*

You can get your external IP address here: http://www.whatsmyip.org/
The big number seperated by 3 full stops right at the top of window is
your EXTERNAL address.

As for your internal address, you can find it in your network adapter
properties dialogue box, though how you get to that depends on which
version of Windows your using.

I can tell you that on WIN-XP, you can double-click the network adapter
icon in the system tray (by the clock) and then clicking the "support"
tab. Here you should see a list of addresses in a similar format to
your external address. The one listed next to "IP address" is your
internal address.

As I do not run non-administrative accounts, I am unsure if you will be
blocked on this procedure... As you are only reading information on your
adapter (rather then changing it) it seems unlikely to be an issue, but
there you go.

Small update... no admin required.

The page at http://www.whatsmyip.org/more/ gives you both EXTERNAL and
INTERNAL addresses by the looks...

Just below the map, you should see an entry called "Hostname".
The number to the right of this is your EXTERNAL address.

2 entries below that is an entry labeled "Internal (LAN) IP".
The number to the right of this is, as stated, your INTERNAL address.
