Re: Internal access to external website.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

1. You should not be hosting any website on your sbs box...you are just asking to have your server compromised...its not a matter of if...just a matter of when

2. Move your site to godaddy or some other national hosting company for about 5.00 a month and this issue goes away and your network is more secure

3. Your issue has to do local DNS not resolving properly and security on the site.

Hello,

I have a sbs 2003 box with thats hosting a few static html pages for an
external website. The problem is is that when a user tries to access the
external website from a workstation attached to the network by simply typing
the web address in their IE address line they are prompted with the following
login popup window that states: (I altered the web address)

The server www.xxx.com at WebAdmin requires a username and password.

Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent
in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).

All users including the admin are prompted with this request and when we try
typing in the server name in the address line such as http://xxx-sbserver a
401 unauthorized page is returned.

None of their login id's or passwords work on the login popup. The website
works just fine externaly as well as the other RWW features.(from internet)

Any ideas?

Thanks, Charles
