RE: Publishing a SharePoint Web Site Accessible to External Users

The syntax that I use is https://servername.domainname.com:444. This seems to
work.

Another way to find out if the sharepoint site is publishing is to use:

https://servername.domainname.com/Remote. If connct to my company website is
an option the site is publishing.

Hope this helps,
Chuck
