Re: Any Good white Papers on remote access

How many NICs on the server? If you can connect successfully using the internal IP, the problem is not with the server, but with some kind of firewall restrictions. If you have two NICS, do you port forward 4125 to the external NIC of the server?

When you run CEICW the port is opens for you on the server. Since you opened port 4125 on the firewall and you forwarding to the server, that should be ok as well. The other issue you might have, is that you try to access RWW, using the external IP, from within your network.

There are routers that do not allow that, so you'll have to either remotely connect to an external computer and try to use the external IP of your server, or be somewhere, outside your network, to try it.

The MX record is not related to remote access but to the mail server. We can talk about that later. For now, if I understand correctly, you want to use RWW and you can't. When you type https://IPAddress/Remote do you get an error and if yes, what is that error? Did you run CEICW and did you select the Remote Web Workspace service? Did you open port 4125 on your router and it you forward it to the internal IP address of the server?

On a separate note, you need an A record at the ISP to point to the external IPAddress of your server, so you can type https://name.domain.com/remote instead of using the IP number.
