Re: Can not access Web and FTP sites from Internet

Hello Raju,

Thank you for posting back!

Thanks a lot for Susantha's great information suggestion!

Raju, your IP Configuration on the Server is correctly. I have tried to
telnet 12.208.215.87 with Port 443, following is the result I have got,
please see:

C:\Documents and Settings\v-branee>telnet 12.208.215.87 443
Connecting To 12.208.215.87...Could not open connection to the host, on
port 443
: Connect failed

Please see my suggestions:

1> From the result, we can see the telnet failed, which means the router
does not forward Port 443 to SBS Server. I suggest that you double check
whether you have successfully forwarded the Port 443 to SBS Server.

2> Please check whether you can ping 12.208.215.87 from remote computer. By
the way, as Susantha said, are you using Static IP address or dynamic IP
Address?

3> Since there is a router installed in front of the SBS server, as
Susantha said, we need to configure the port redirection on the router for
the following ports:

TCP 25 This port is used for incoming SMTP traffic. If you are using
POP3 connector, there is no need to open this port.
TCP 110 This port is used for POP3 mail clients.
TCP 443 SSL
TCP 444 Companyweb SSL
TCP 4125 Remote Web Workplace
TCP 3389 Terminal services
TCP 1723 PPTP VPN connection
GRE port (protocol number 47) This port is used for incoming PPTP VPN
connection.

Please take your time to perform my suggestions. I am looking forward to
hearing from you!

Best regards,

Brandy Nee
