Remote Access - The struggle continues



Background - We're running SBS 2003 Premium with appropriate Exchange
settings. We have static IP address and a Router.

Having got all our in-house desktops talking happily to the server I'm
now trying to setup our Notebook users....

I added a User with the Add User Wizard. I made sure I added their
Notebook System Name at the same time and answered all the questions
regarding remote access positively.

I then went to the Notebook, logged on as the user and ran
http:/server/connectcomputer. This did its install stuff and
eventually could run Outlook2003, connecting to the server either via
our local LAN or via a dial-up Internet connection (a tad slow, but
that's a different problem).

I can also run OWA via each connection.

However, there are two things that dont seem to work:

1) There is an shortcut icon on the desktop to connect to the server.
I'm not sure what this is for (!) but it doesn't ever seem to make a
connection. One of the error messages starts "The PPP link control
protocol was terminated (Error 734) ...." Another error message
doesn't stay on the screen long enough to see what it says!

2) I've also tried to connect from the Notebook to the server using:
https://<ipaddress>/remote, but this returns a "You are not authorised
...." message

(I've setup the router so that ports 443, 444 & 4125 all pass through
to the server).

Any help or explanations much appreciated.

TIA,

JohnK
