Re: Questions when using https://servername.local/remote

Getting into the zywall from the internet is bad too. You need to disable
this or you'll be hacked in no time. I think you need somebody to help you
with this system.

Cris.

Just wanted to see what would happen if i tried it from my LAN. I ran the
Remote Connection Wizard and wanted to see if things work out the way the
documentation says.

I am now at home trying to access the office server. I brought home a
"Create Remote Connection Disk Wizard" I tried that and it does not work.
It gives the error: "Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN
server
may be unreachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly
for
this connection. (Error 800) For customized troubleshooting information
for
this connection, click Help."

I also tried https://LakesideOfficeSystemsInc.Local/remote from internet
explorer and get page cannot be displayed.

When i try the public IP address of the server, i get into the Zywall10
firewall.

Our setup is SBS2003 Premium, ISA2004, Exchange, two NICS, static IP,
Netgear switch and Zyxel Zywall10 firewall.

Thanks,
Tony

Guess the real question here is, why are you accessing RWW from within
your LAN.

Typically when you create the security cert during the CEICW you put in
servername (or whatever alias you chose in creating the A
record).domainname.com (or net or whatever)

Then when you try to access RWW or OWA from the world you won't get that
warning about names not matching

I just tried this from inside my lan...I get the same name warning,
because it does not match what I put in my cert, which is the public
name.
