Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply.

Would you please to help me to double confirm if you can access internal
website when you disable the windows firewall? SBS do not allow enable the
windows firewall. If you want to configure port, you may configure it
through RRAS. However, RRAS do not provide program exceptions. If you want
to do it on SBS, you may need to install ISA firewall. ISA have provided
many facility and security for your network.

Thanks for your understanding.

| HI Crina,
|
| >> do you mean that you have enabled the windows firewall in SBS SP1?
| I tried enabling it, but disabled it after it disabled any access to the
| server.
| When disabled everything works again.
|
| >> Would you please to tell me how do you enable it?
| I Right-Click on the Network Icon, click on 'Change Windows Firewall
| Settings', enter the exceptions, click on 'On' to enable it.
|
| >> In addition, would you please to tell me the detailed error message
when
| the internal users access this web site hosted on the SBS?
| I currently do not wish to re-create this problem but it was like the
| standard Web-Site not found, or can not connect to exchange server....
