Re: changed IP address: can't receive email & need to make domain name match IP address



You may want to re-read 825763. You appear to be using a public IP address
on your SBS NIC (instead of a private IP address).

The router/firewall has a public (WAN) side and a private (LAN) side. You
need to set up the router with the public WAN (static) IP address. Then
attach your SBS server to one of the LAN-side ports on the router, give your
SBS NIC an IP address in that private IP range and re-run CEICW. In CEICW,
select your services and then recreate the Web Server certificate. Unless
you are hosting your company web site on the SBS, port 80 should be closed
on the router. You also need to open port 4125 on the router for Remote Web
Workplace (RWW).

Email... Since you have a new Static IP address, make sure that your ISP (or
whoever handles that IP) has updated the MX and A records for your domain so
they point to your new (static) public IP address. These changes may take
several hours to propagate through all the email servers on the Internet.

At this point, it appears that your MX records are not pointed to your
75.61.56.121 public IP address:

Before coming here I use KB825763 (How to configure Internet access in
Windows Small Business Server 2003) exactly as directed, 323380 (How to
configure DNS for internet access), & an obscene number of posts from
this newsgroup.

Thanks in advance for any help.

My company moved to a new office and got a new static IP address for
SBS2k3 Standard.

We're connecting to the server through a router with a firewall. We
have broadband & 1 network adapter I've unblocked ports 80, 25, 443,
1723.

Problem 1:


I can access RWW & OWA with ipaddress/remote and ipaddress/exchange,
respectively. Both the http & https methods work with the IP address. I
CANNOT access anything using the domain name (e.g. domainname/remote).

Can someone tell me how to reset the ip address that is attached to the
domain name? Is that the right way of talking about it?

Problem 2:

I can send mail from OWA and Outlook, but can't receive anything. I've
checked the queues on the server and there is nothing there. I think
this is related to the domain name problem above. We are using SMTP.
with registered domain for the mail.

Below is my ipconfig/all from the server
