Re: Remote Connections

I have tried so many things and I'm sure it's something simple, but I cannot connect in any way to the SBS remotely. Internally, no problems at all. However externall, no terminal services, no remote desktop, no vpn, nothing. I have tried different connections - one with two network cards, one with one, tried moving the router up in the process, tried configuring the dsl modem, nothing worked. Have run internet connection and remote access wizards about a million times. 

Help please!  Thanks!

here is my current configuration:
DSL Modem 192.168.1.254 to Router
Router is 10.0.0.1 on internal network and assigned by dsl on external
SBS is 10.0.0.2
Router is DHCP server

Could you clarify this a bit? The DSL modem: does this have a phone
connection and an Ethernet port? You say the router WAN port is
configured by DSL, so where does the 192.168.1.254 come in?

What I'm trying to get at, is do you have a subnet between DSL modem and
router, and if so what are the two IPs? Generally an Ethernet-output
modem is itself a router and must be configured for port opening and
forwarding. Its Internet-facing IP address is the one configured by DSL,
and its internal one needs to be on the same subnet as what it's talking
to. In this case that looks like the router WAN port.

Lesser point: things are more likely to work out-of-the-box if SBS does
the DHCP serving, rather than the router. It's not impossible the other
way, you may just need to do more configuring to get routing and
browsing to work. If SBS does DHCP, it's much more likely to get DNS
right than if it has to rely on broadcasts to find its workstations.
