....or change to another DNS hosting service that will then do this for you.
Of course make sure your present ISP does allow servers (business class
service should while most residential class won't).

Tell them to shut the #@%# up and register a FQDN with them. That's all
you need is an FQDN tied to your external IP. that's what I do so my users
can access RWW, OWA, companyweb and even my Citrix server using this FQDN.
For the certificate just rerun the CIECW and make sure the new certificate
matches the registered FQDN you just had created.

Hi everyone. I recently setup SBS 2003 for our small company. One of
the
very useful features that made us acquire SBS was the Remote Web
Workplace.
It will be very helpful for users to access Outlook Web email and also
run
remote desktops from the Internet.
I have setup these services, and opened ports 80 and 443 in our company
firewall, and forwarded incoming requests to our SBS server. I have
tried
this from home, by going to Internet Explorer and the external IP address
that our ISP has assigned to us, and I am able to access RWW just fine.
The next thing I wanted to do was get a DNS name, so that users could go
to
that instead of a cryptic IP address. I also need a DNS name to apply a
server certificate, so that users don't get the "problem with website's
certificate" warning when they connect to my company's SBS Remote Web
Workplace from their home computers.
When I asked my company's ISP to provide me with a DNS name we could use,
they went ballistic. "What ports do you have open?" "What services are
you
providing?" "Our agreement with your company forbids opening servers
that
can be a security risk, etc. etc."
I would like to ask: is our ISP crying wolf? I mean, there are tons of
Small Business Servers out there in the world. Are all of them
forbidding
access to RWW features from users outside the company? Isn't this one of
the
most useful features of SBS?
.
