Re: Exchange: Routing of internal emails

Let me start by saying that having just one network card isn't recommended and it isn't secure.

I assume that you are behind a firewall or a router/firewall. Call your ISP and ask them to help you setup an A and an MX record that points to the IP address of your router. When that is done, re-run CEICW and you should be all set.

The above assumes that you have a static IP address. If you have a dynamic IP address you can setup an account with dyndns.com It is free and you can accomplish what you need

It's a standard office server setup with SBS and a single network adapter.
I'm not very experienced with doing this sort of thing but I just went
through the wizards and configured it all that way.

For the domain name I selected <company_name>.local and I don't believe I
setup any sort of DNS settings or anything to allow users to access the
server a website (using the IP doesn't work either).

Currently the only way to connect to the server outside of the office is to
setup a VPN connect to our IP.

If anyone could point me to some resources for setting it up the server so
it could be accessed like server.mydomain.com then I'd greatly appreciate it.

Is that a member server? Is it behind a firewall? How exactly is it setup?
