I got it Matt. I called Cisco and it was something that they sent me and
fat fingered. I am in now. I was thinking of not putting a external dns
name with it and only using the IP address. It seems like that would be
more secure because on not having a friendly name. What do you think?

I did have my ISP forward a DNS name. Our local domain is abc.com and our
email domain is abcde.org. We have both of them registered. ( the abc.com
was here before I started or I would have made it a .local) Our servers name
is server. In the connection wizard of SBS, I gave it the FQDN of
server.secure.abcde.org I had my ISP forward secure.abcde.org to our public
IP address. I think that should work, because it forwards that address to
this IP address. Should I have forwarded the full name, including the
server name?
