Re: Urgent: Problem setting up web site hosting on SBS03 with ISA



I have had this very same discussion with the owner on several occasions. Due
to financial reasons, another server will not be provided. I have been thus
instructed to forgo the security risk and get the web site up and running.
The web site needs to be running locally (instead of hosted on the ISP's
servers) because a custom .ASP based web site has been developed for the
comapny that interacts with information in the local SQL Server.

Hello,

I have a bit of a problem. I am the tech for a new startup business that
recently bought a Server from Dell with SBS 03 Premium. I would like to
set
this machine up to host the external web site as well as the doing the
normal
SBS server stuff (exchange, sharepoint, SQL, etc.)

I literally just turned this machine on two days ago and have successfully
completed the setup for the preinstalled OS. I followed the directions
that
came from Microsoft for completing the setup.

I have two NIC cards in the server, one going to a T1 line from the ISP
and
the other one for the internal network. Everything is setup with the
out-of-the-box default settings. The Server does have internet access (I
have
no clients machines yet) and everything seems to work. EXCEPT for hosting
an
external web site:

When I attempt to view the company web site from my home computer (by
entering the static IP address assigned by our ISP) I get the error:
"Error
Code: 500 Internal Server Error. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
network is unreachable. For more information about this event, see ISA
Server
Help. (10051)". For some reason I cannot find ISA Server Help on this.

After much searching I found a blog post where someone with a similiar
error
suggested changing the port for WPAD to 8080 instead of the port 80 it
defaults to so that there are no IP binding conflicts. I made this change
and
still get the exact same error.

I'm suprised that the server does work right out of the box, but I guess
most people host IIS and ISA on different machines (but what about all
those
SBS servers out there - do not any of them host their own web sites?)

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Why can't I see my comany web
site? If you need more infomation to answer my question I am willing to
provide.
