Re: Static IP and RWW

Larry
Thanks, I think I get the drift - I need a static IP - end of story!

Hi John:

Well, you don't *need* any static ip address or any third party service.
All you need is for someone from inside the lan to go to www.wahtsmyip.com
every few days/hours/minutes and tell you what the current ip is, then run
the wizard again and create a new cert, then accept a new cert then change
it the next time the ip changes.

Then from outside the LAN you browse to https://current-ip-address/remote
and accept the new cert.

As LW once said in this space: rinse, lather, repeat.

But that is a lot of effort to avoid getting an IP address from your ISP
or one of the "rental" services.

Please post the resolution to
your issue so that all can benefit.

Hi John - no it is not a neccessity, but a public static IP will make
things a little easier when setting up your SBS.

I create a record on my domain name DNS host - that points
servername.domainname.com to my SBS external IP.

Once this is done you can type in
https://servername.domainname.com/remote
to get to RWW.

If you cant get a static, try using the DynDNS.com or the like. Never
used it, but I've heard it works fine.

Can someone please confirm whether or not as a starting point a static
IP
address is a neccessity before trying to get RWW up and running
