Hi Paul,

Assuming your nics are correctly configured, you should only need run the
Connect to the Internet Wizard (CEICW) to configure RWW and OWA. If you
connect remotely by ip address, then use that ip address (public static ip)
for the certificate name. If you connect via FQDN, such as mail.company.com,
then use that as your certificate name.

If you still have trouble, post back with an ipconfig/all from the server,
showing both nics.
