Re: "A" Record and FQDN

Hi CY:

Just to add to what the others have said, (and I may have missed it).

If your SBS is receiving your internet email, then you already have a record
that points to your router.

Usually your ISP will call this record "mail.yourdomain.com"

You can determine if such a record exists by opening a command prompt and
type:

"ping yahoo.com"

if you get reply x 4 you know you can ping the internet. if not, go to the
server or a machine not behind the SBS

then type

"ping mail.yourdomain.com"

you would get reply x 4 for the external ip address of your router, if there
is a MX record pointing to that address.

Then, once the ports are open, re run the CEICW as directed, make the cert
FQDN of "mail.yourdomain.com"

That should do it.

Hello,
Currently, our 'remote' users are logging into RWW by typing
Https://routerip/remote. It works just fine.

We have a registered domain name as well. In order for these users to
type
in http://domainname/remote I need to do the following?

contact our ISP.
Tell them we'd like an "A" record set up. (from domainname to ip)

Is that it?

I will have our ip address and domainname ready for them, but that seems
too
easy.

Thanks,
Carter
