Re: Any Good white Papers on remote access

Yes it helps, and as Cris posted, they are incorrect. Follow Cris' instructions and you should be good to go

Hi Costas

We have two network cards in sbs server the ipaddress on first network cards is 192.168.1.1 the second network card ip address is 192.168.1.77 they go to a switch which also has firewall connected to it The internal address of the firewall is 192.168.1.253 the external address is 81.86.61.86 does this help

Ok.. I'm still confused... sorry :)

Your server has two network cards...what is the IP address of the external card? The firewall has an internal IP address... what is that IP?

A firewall called netpliot the internal ip is 192.168.1.1 and the external is 192.168.1.77

Port 4125 opens up on an as-needed basis. Something must be wrong in the firewall configuration. What kind of firewall do you have? What is its internal IP? What is the IP of the External NIC of the server?

Sorry i have done that
Another thought could the rrs be corrupt somehow?
Can i disable it then re enable will this cause any probelms??
Silly question i ran netst -an i can't see port 4125 open but i have followed all the instructions

should it say

tcp 192.168.1.1:4125 ??

Is the IP of the external NIC of your server 192.168.1.1 or is that the IP of your router? (it seems like a router IP). If the external NIC IP is, for example, 192.168.1.2, then in the router you should open the 4215 and specify that IP as the destination

We have 2 nics on the server

The question do you port foward 4125 to the external NIC server How do you do that???

All i did was open up the external firewall add port foward tcp 4125 to the server ip address e.i 192.168.1.1 do i have to do the same then point it to the second ip address??

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?

Hi Costas

Yeap i have try that as well I disable the LAN and connect to outsider isp that try https:// external ip / remote with no joy Is there are logfiles i can look @?

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.
