SharePoint 3.0: problems with external access

Hi all,
We have SBS 2003 standard SP2 behind a Sonicwall TZ 180.
We installed SharePoint 3.0 side-by-side with SP 2.0, no problem during
installation, we followed the MS instructions for SP 3.0 on SBS 2003.
Everything works fine internally. We like SP 3.0, which we find a great
improvement over SP 2.0. So far so good.
The trouble is with external access, which we find incredibly complex to set
up and so far does not work. Here is what we did :
- Under SP 3.0 Central Administration/Operations/Alternate Access
Mappings/Public Zone URLs, we have 1) under «default » the internal url ; 2)
under « internet » https://ip-address:portnumber, where the port number was
the one allocated to the site during the initial set up of the intranet
following the MS intructions (ie "25364") and the ip-address is our static
external address (also used to access RWW without difficulty, for example).
- Under IIS, we found the SP 3.0 web site created during setup, but with no
Certificate, which we then added (we used the existing cert also used for
RWW), and specified a SSL port different from the TCP one (which is the above
25364, so that the SSL is, for example, 8000). I think that I don’t really
understand how the SSL port works and what it is for, so I suspect that I am
doing something wrong here.
- In the Sonicwall, we opened both the 25364 and the 8000 ports
After trying different combinations of the above (for example : no
specification of the SSL port… ?), the SP 3.0 site still does not work
externally.
What I am doing wrong or missing ?
Thanks for your help
Charles
