Re: RWW and OWA don't work remotely; VPN does



Wow this is really ODD

Because everything looks right...

I'd go to your Netgear

Remove the Port forwards 443 444 4125
Unplug the Netgear wait 30seconds
Log back in Add Ports 443 444 and 4125 and forward back to the correct IP of
your SBS

Problem is testing with the DMZ should have fixed this...

It still looks like SBS is blocking it.
Stupid Question but is the User account you are using Able to REMOTE? or
just a normal user..
(Just a Sanity Check)

OK IF the above doesn't work
Grab a laptop and plug it in to the extra Port of your Netgear
and try to access the OWA from between the NetGear and Server.

(I know the above should work, but this is just to make 100% sure it's not
your Netgear.)

OK if that doesn't work

Then it's definitely the SBS blocking it.

Well that third party unless it has a firewall shouldn't have affected it
and Making DNS entries won't or shouldn't matter.

have you looked in "Routing and Remote Access" Config
Let me think

I think it's Server, then IP Routing then NAT/Basic Firewall
(If you only have 1 Nic I don't think it's there If Memory serves me)

Anyway look at the properties of your External NIC (What ever you named it
NIC 1 2 or I usually Rename them Internal External)

Look at the Services and Ports Tab
Make sure RWW and OWA are checked..

If you are 1 Nic and all this doesn't work, WOW???? I'd have to look at
it...

Post your IPconfig /all of your server if the above doesn't work
Maybe I can see something there!
