First of all....if you'd spent any time on this group or searched it, you'd know that hosting your public website on your website is very very high security risk
Secondly, have your read the acceptable use policy for your new provider? Many companies which won't provide static IP's and block port 80 have very specific policies abour running servers on their pipe and will turn you off if they discover it.

Hi all -- I'm hoping there's a quick place to make this change occur. Let me
briefly explain the situation. I had DSL Service before with a static IP. All
was well with my external access for my public website under SBS 2003. I
could access public site on port 80, the sharepoint site internally, OWA
would come in on port 80 and redirect to SSL 443 and OMA worked too. As one
additional change I made, I located my external facing port 80 website on a
different drive then made it the "root" of my internet. So all the web
projects for exchange, Sharepoint,etc resided on their default C:\ locations,
and my main site was on the E:\drive. As I said all was well. This week, I
got fiber optic in and they did not allow a static IP. Further, though they
(verizon) said they dont' block ports, in fact they do block port 80. I used
a dynamic DNS redirector to capture this fact and redirected my public URL to
port 8080. Thus, my original name was say www.default.com. This was
redirected to www2.default.com:8080. I registered the MX there as well. I
then went to the main website and changed the port settings in IIS from 80 to
8080. Here's what occured (good and bad)
External site: Up after redirection.
OWA: Won't work on redirection, but does work calling the SSL port directly
with the redirected SSL, ie https://www2.default.com/exchange
OMA: Will not work, internal or external. Logon page appears, but then an
"server error" non descript message displays
Email/Exchange: Up and running -- no problem Emails send and receive to/from
the server
VPN to www.default.com or www2.default.com does not work, but direct VPN to
the IP does. (ie, if I ping the URL, and get a response, and use that IP,
VPN then works -- however it used to work by using www.example.com.
Inernal reports do not work -- this includes what is emailed to me (I get an
email, but it is blank except for the words Bad request (Invalid hostname).
It also includes the reports that are "live" that show up in the Server
management console liek the view usage report, etc.
As far as I can tell, right now Sharepoint *appears* to be up -- at least on
the server. I need to check more into that to see if it is working entirely
from the clients, both internal and via VPN (I don't have public sharepoint
access).
So, OK, question is -- what can I do to get SBS working well with the
realization that my external port 80 is blocked by the ISP and I need to send
web in on a different port (8080)?
I'd be glad for any assist with this.
Thanks in advance. Todd
