Hi,

IT's hhtps:..ip:444/?? as I am trying to get it so that people can access
our intranet from anywhere. But, I still get the same problem when doing it
via http://companyweb as well.

I've probably not explained this too well, and with you not being familiar
with SBS 2003 probably doesn't help. It is actually the companies intranet
web site which is companyweb as defualt that I am trying to get this to work
on rather than a public website - that is as I have said above I am trying to
make it so that people working remotely don't have to log on via vpn to look
at the site - they go to the secure address and log in with their username
and password.

I'll be honest and tell you I am not too knowledgable on how it all works,
but I believe it does have something to do with sharepoint with regard to the
internal companyweb site.

I will look at the article you mentioned.

I think perhaps I might take this to the SBS group now, as it is obviously a
slightly different way of doing things than normally with IIS.

Again, thanks for all your help.

Steve.
