Re: External Domain PCs wont browse to OWA nor Sharepoint sites

Well when i am NOT connected to the VPN all the sites (i.e
jobs.domain.net&owa.domain.net) resolve back to our WAN ip address for both
domain users and nondomain users. When connected to the VPN it resolves to
the local ip address of the server itself (ie. 10.1.1.1).

No we arent specifying any proxy server inside IE. I did see an article
about
something close to this and it suggested running a command locally on ther
server if you DONT run a proxy, and then also specifying a fake proxy
inside
the users IE settings. I tried this for one user with no luck, and have
now
set the proxy settings back to default "unchecked" inside IE. I'm sure it
has
something to do with the way the domain users get routed externally to the
site(s) but i'm not sure where to start/look. Any other ideas???

We are currently running a single domain controller with exchange 2003
and
sharepoint v2 both installed. We have a VPN setup. When PCs/laptops are
here
in the office they can access both OWA/Sharepoint without any trouble.
When a
domain PC is external to the local network (i.e. a site office) users
CANNOT
access OWA/Sharepoint sites through the std internet connection.
However
if i
connect those same PCs/Users to the VPN they CAN access OWA/Sharepoint
while
they are connected, as soon as they disconnect from the VPN they lose
the
ability to browse to OWA/Sharepoint they just get the std "page cannot
be
found" error in IE. Now whats weird is if i either disjoin the pc from
the
domain AND/OR just login as the local admin i CAN browse to
OWA/Sharepoint
(also my personal PC at home which isnt a domain PC can always browse
to
our
sharepoint/owa site).

So basically if you are a domain user and are not in the office or
connected to the VPN you CANNOT access OWA/Sharepoint, it doesnt even
come
up
and ask for credentials it just says "page cannot be found". If you are
NOT a
domain user you CAN access OWA/Sharepoint thru the internet without VPN
connection.

I'm pretty sure the router, external DNS, etc is correct or else the
non-domain users wouldnt be able to access the sites. This must be
something
to do with domain config. HELP!!!

How can i fix this?
