oh PS: Frank
IP for the server is not 67.30.129.145. you will probably know now for sure
since you know the exact domain name......

You need to use a DNS record that points to your servers public IP. As.
most people use Exhange and have an MX record for this purpose, and an
MX is a DNS record, it suits the purpose.
The MX is a pointer in DNS that tells peoples mail programs (Exchange
etc) that are trying to send you email, this server is the email server
for zyz.com. It resides in DNS for easy lookup.
Do you use your exchange for SMTP inbound email or are you using Pop3 to
download it ?
an MX it is usually (not always) allocated as mail.companyname.com and
pointed to your public IP address.
You would then run the CEICW wizard from the SBS todo list (for settinmg
up your connection to the internet). You would setup the Certificate
secion with the external facing DNS name you would like to use
(mail.companyname.com). Then externally, in browsers, people can type in
https://mail.companyname.com/remote and connect to your server.
If you wish, you can also just use your public static IP address.
https://staticIP/remote
On another note: Does expressmortgage.com match your external internet
name ? I suspect it does.
back on topic:
Talk to whoever has your DNS records about setting up the needed records
externally.
If you are unsure who has your DNS records, a simple whois on the
internet (using any of the numerous websites that provide this service)
or nslookup at the command prompt can give you the answers. Send a note
back and someone can get this for you.
As it appears you have used the same name for your internal domain to
your external public domain, there are some things you will need to do
in DNS later on to allow internal users to see your website.
That is something we can address after you have gotten through this.
Thanks

Ok, So I finally got most of the things working fine. Here is my system
SBS standard, 2 nics, a router, SBS is DHCP server
I can run RWW from the office (either from server or Workstation) to login
as client or server. I type httP://EMSSERVER/remote to access RWW, what do I
type in the address bar from home to access server or client machine.
Do I need to talk to my ISP for something ? What is MX record ?
during SBS setup, I named the FQDN as emsserver.expressmortgage.com... NOW
what ?
