Re: SharePoint 3.0 - making it accessible to user 'from the outside'

Mike,

Nope. Just when he/she is sitting at home and remembers, "Crapolla, I
needed to update that Excel Spread ***". Then he remembers....Excellent!
Cary set up Share Point for us....I just need to go to
https://sharepoint.mydomain.com and there I go...

Sorry for the unclear title..

P.S. My earlier reply was after reading para 1 and assuming "not connected
to the network" meant either not connected to the Internet or the
SharePoint server was not available outside the internal network ...

Good morning!

Simple question actually: making sharepoint 3.0 accessible to the user
base when the user base is not connected to the network (say, they are at
home or on vacation or whatnot). How?

I ask becuase my colleague tells me that this is very tricky. To me, it
seems like we simply have a dedicated, static Public IP Addres available.
We create an A record called 'sharepoint' (or whatever...), configure the
SonicWall to forward traffic to this IP Address to the server in question
(member File Server) and that is it.

My colleague tells me that SharePoint is not really all that 'friendly'
when it comes to accessing it from the outside world. I trust what he
says.

Thanks,

Cary
