Re: Help on Exchange setup and remote work place

First rule with SBS: use the wizards!!!!

If you want to use Exchange a static IP is the way to go. Normally your
modem will get that IP. You configure your SBS WAN NIC with a static IP in
the same subnet as your modem and then you forward all traffic from your
modem to that NIC.
With regard to your LAN subnet, 192.168.0.x isn't really a good idea as you
will run into problems if you intend to use VPN connections. The remote LAN
subnet has to be different from the SBS LAN and most consumer routers use
192.168.0.x as the default.

Yes, you could configure your box to work with a dynamic IP (through dyndns
or some other provider) and you could use POP3 connector and Smarthost. They
are all valid options but IMHO static IP is the way to go.

Dear All,

I have fairly good idea about computers and network , but i am and not
very good at it . Here goes my problem. I have installed Windows 2003 SBS
premium edition and i want to configureexchange server which comes with
my sbs . We are a company with 10 users and maximum we will be adding 10
more users in 2 yrs time . my server computer has two lan cards . One
that connect to the local area network and one which connects to the ADSL
modem . The one which connects to lan card has an IP of 192.168.0.20 and
the IP of my ADSL modem is assigned by my ISP ( internet service Providers
DHCP) . I think this is called dynamic IP.

currently my Companys website is hosted with a different service provider
, not the above mentioned ISP . I also have 10 Pop3 mail accounts created
through him and currently recives all mails thru him .
Now if i want to use exchange instead of the Website provider should i go
for a Static IP . also once i buy a static IP should that IP address be
assigned to my LAn network card or to my ADSL lan card . also is it
possible for me to buy a static IP from a third party other than my ISP
( internet service Provider) and assign it to the ADSL modem . Once i get
the static IP should i got to my Web hosting company configuration page
and change my emails dns to the new static ip.

I have heard that Dynamic IP can also be configured to use with exchange .
in that case can i forward all my emails to my isp while sending thru
exchange . if i am sending the mails by forwarding all all my emails to my
webhosting companys smtp , what is the username and password i should
give, Is it the main login details to get into the webhosting control
panel or the username and password of a pop3 mail box . Also if i type
http://myservername/exchange or https://myservername/exchange , i am not
able to connect to exchange. but if connect thru RWW and check my mails it
opens the microsoft outlook in web version. now i can check my mails . why
is http://myservername/exchange not work


Thanks

George
