Problems with RWW connection after move

We have an SBS2003 Standard up and that's been running for over a year using
RWW for email and remote desktop connection with no problems. Then we moved
to a larger location. Although the new location is only a few blocks from
our original location the DSL installation required the we be issued a new
series of fixed IP addresses. We use a single NIC with a PIX 506 at the
front end, and had to completely recofigure the PIX. Our first new PIX setup
quickly allowed us to connect to the Internet, but we had no email from our
Exchange server. We then went back into the PIX and made sure ports 25, 80,
and 443 were open (we don't need VPN). This allowed us Exchange email and
the ability to access RWW's main menu for email and internal web site. But
when remote users tried to connect to their computers at work, they
couldn't. Today we went back into the PIX and opened port 444, and
immedately afterwards a remote user was able to remotely connect to his
desktop computer -- or at least we thought he did. I called another remote
user to try connecting, and she could not. I also came home and tried
connecting, but I could not connect to any computer at work. Here's the
error I'm getting:
"The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections
might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new
connections. It is also possible that network problems are preventing your
connection . . ."
From this experience I get the feeling we have missed one or more ports thatalso need to be opened. But if so, which ones? Thanks.
