Re: Cannot connect to RWW from home PC

Hi John:

When you run the CEICW you put in the address of your RWW page. This
address must be either your public IP address, or an URL address for which
there is a public DNS record.

If you are receiving mail at your exchange server you have such a record
already. Normally this would be something like "mail.yourdomain.com", which
would point to your public IP address, so in the CEICW you put
"mail.yourdomain.com". It does not have to be that, and you can add public
DNS records that point to "fuzzy_slippers.yourdomain.com" if you wish.

The last step is to forward the ports required, 443, 444, 4125 from whatever
router/firewall device sits at that ip address to the ip address of the
listening nic ip in your SBS.

Then from outside the LAN you point your browser to
"mail.yourdomain.com/remote" to hit the RWW page, where you can select which
service to use.

Hi

I cannot logon to RWW from my home PC no matter what I try

I am using our FQDN : although beginning to wonder if this is set up
correctly - as surely should include something with .com maybe?
https://jcmsbs***.jcmgroup.local/remote I get this page in IE and error
message from Firefox :-

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
a.. You are not connected to the Internet.
b.. The website is encountering problems.
c.. There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

a.. Internet connectivity has been lost.
b.. The website is temporarily unavailable.
c.. The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
d.. The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the
website's domain.
e.. If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click
Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS
protocols are enabled under the security section.

For offline users

You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed
webpages.
To view subscribed feeds

1.. Click the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click
the feed you want to view.

To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)

1.. Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
2.. Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then
click the page you want to view.




This address works from my workstation within the sbs2003 network but not
from outside. Can someone please advise?
Many thanks, John
