Larry,
Can you please give me the link to "Wayne's site". I can't find it.
Thanks.

If, when you run the CEICW you put that in as the certificate, and if
there is a public DNS entry for that name, then yes.

Did you try the link I gave you for Wayne's site?

btw, you can use the cert generated by your SBS while in the CEICW, or
you can specify a cert that you purchase from a third party.

Larry,
I'll check on what ports are open.

Once the appropriate ports are open, do I have the remote client use
our static IP address in their browser or do they use the
www.companyname.com address that is currently use for Email only? The
company domain name is located at RCN.net. I believe that RCN then
forwards (the DNS points to) our static IP address (we have a DSL
connect with a static IP address from Covad). So, does this mean I can
have the remote clients use the https://www.companyname.com/remote
syntax in their local web browser to access the RWW when the correct
port are open?

Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas:

Have you forward the ports from the router/firewall for RWW?

443
444
4125

you do this the same way you do 1723 for VPN.

Larry,
Thanks for the info. I tried using https://ip-address/remote from my
laptop at home and nothing happened. I get the 'timed out' page.

If I VPN into my server, then start a Terminal Service session to
log into the server, I can then open up IE and type in
https://10.0.0.2/remote and get the logon page for RWW.

We are running Exchange server on this SBS server. the email address
(www.companyname.com) is hosted by an ISP and the email is forwarded
to our static IP address which is assign to our server as part of the
External NIC card (we are setup with two NICs in the server).

What am I missing? What do I need to do or setup so I can directly
access RWW from my laptop at home with using the VPN/TS procedure?

Again, thanks for taking the time to help out. I really do
appreciate it.

Thomas

Hi Thomas:

From inside the LAN, open IE:

https://server-ip/remote

you should get a welcome and logon page.

If you want to see what one looks like,

https://mail.sbsfaq.com/remote

which brings me to the second point. When you run the CEICW it asks
for the fqdn for the certificate for the server. If this has been
done, don't change anything unless you are certain of the
consequences.

There must be a public DNS record that points to the name that is
used here.

If it has never been done, you can use the Public ip address of your
network until you get a DNS record for that address that your users
can type. The reason we see https://mail.xxxxxx is because if you
are receiving mail at your SBS server, there is probably a DNS record
for that already.

And, last point, you can get rid of the security warning by clicking
on the pink certificate warning part of the browsers address bar and
accepting the cert on your local system.

All,
I'm new to SBS 2003 RWW. Can someone point me in the right
direction as to how I can tell if RWW is properly installed in my
SBS2003 environment? Also, when SBS was installed the consulting
company named our server as follows: servername.local

We do have a static IP address used in a 2 NIC environment.
Our website (companyname.com) is hosted on a ISP's server
(godaddy.com)

So, if RWW is truely installed in our SBS environment, how would I
access this?

Thank you,
Thomas
