IP at home is Cox dynamic behind a Linksys router, everything is XP Pro with
all the latest updates and patches and Office 2003 products home and office.
Yes, I did run ICW when I moved the box to the office. I created the
certificate on the local domain on the initial install and have not changed
it since then. I can RWW from the clients at the office connected hard
wired with no problem. Ports, that's where I might be a little confused. I
have a bunch forwarded to the internal NIC right now, perhaps to many, just
trying everything. Could you be so kind and tell me just which ones I need
to forward? I'm using POP with smarthost so I don't need to open for smtp.
Am I right in thinking I forward the ports to the NIC that is used for
connecting to the internet? The second NIC, for internal usage I have given
an IP address that will not allow it to be forwarded, the router forwarding
port setup only allows the last digits to be changed. Did I cover
everything?
Thank you so much for the help, I'm at wits end and unless I can get set up
by tomorrow morning I'm going to have to shut down my email for a few days
coming into the server and work through web mail as I'm going out of town on
a business trip and must have access to my mail.

Well Bob,
I doubt you are screwed
If the only problem you are having is getting into the server remotely I'm
pretty sure we can resolve that
What kind of IP scheme are you using at home??
What OS are you running at home (XP Pro I hope)
After you got the SBS to the office, did you by chance run the ICW again??
When it ask you about creating the certificate, did you put in your .com
domain or your .local domain information.
You have a very very common situation that is perfect for SBS and there are
thousands of installs out there doing what you're doing
Give us a chance, and we'll help you but we all volunteer our time here
Unless you wanna fly me to Wichita (from St Louis)...LOL
