Re: Netopia 3347NWG with Remote Desktop and Remote Web Workplace

You should not have to play with the IP address restrictions for Default
WebSite. You need to forward the proper ports in the router to your
external SBS NIC. The access RWW via
https://<YourServersFullInternetNameAsInputOnYourWebServerCert>/remote

Example:
https://mail.mycompany.com/remote

I have temporarily changed the IP address restrictions for Default WebSite
in
IIS Admin, so all are now Granted Access. It is now possible to navigate
to
http:\\sbs2003.domain.com, and the default website appears.

However, companyweb (My internal website) goes to http:\\companyweb, which
of course results in "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

All other links (Network Configuration Wizard, Remote Web Workplace, and
Information and Answers) bring up "The page cannot be found".

Directly going to https://sbs2003.domain.com/Remote now results in "The
page
cannot be found" instead of the previous "You are not authorized to view
this
page".

I changed IP of the WAN Ethernet adapter in the SBS 2003 to 192.168.1.10,
and
set the Gateway to the Netopia's IP of 192.168.1.254. I reran CEICW as
suggested, including Web Server Certificate.

I changed the Netopia 3347NWG, so IP Passthrough is disabled, and I
rebooted
it. I then defined these new services in the Netopia's Expert Mode /
Configure / NAT -- SSL (port 443), Terminal Services (port 3389), and
Remote
Web Workplace (port 4125). I enabled each of these services there,
pointing
them to 192.168.1.10.

Remote Desktop Connection is now working to sbs2003.domain.com.

However, when I attempt externally to go to
http://sbs2003.domain.com/Remote, I get "You are not authorized to view
this
page". Obviously, it is making a connection, but something is wrong for
RWW
in the server.

Hi Greg,

Any help here?

Port Forwarding for the Netopia 3347NWG
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netopia/3347NWG/SuperSync.htm

You will need to forward ports 443, 4125 (both relating to RWW) and
3389
(for RDP use) to your SBS external NIC. Then re-run CEICW, enable the
firewall, select your services, complete the Web Server Certificate
screen
and finish the rest of CEICW.

IMO, discarding external ping (not being able to ping the router) is a
good
thing since it makes you a smaller target on the Internet.

I currently have a Netopia 3347NWG, using PPOE to connect to Deltacom
(a
local DSL), which is connected to the WAN Ethernet Adapter of an SBS
2003
Premium R1 (ISA not installed). The LAN Ethernet Adapter (of the
SBS) is
set
to 192.168.16.2 and is connected to a switch into which is connected
the
rest
of the office network.

IP passthrough is enabled in the Netopia's Expert - Configuration
section
to
User Configured PC, and the WAN Ethernet Adapter has the static IP
address
(72.xxx.xxx.xxx).

Despite that, external ping and RWW and RDP will not work.

Internally, I can use Remote Desktop from a workstation to access the
server
(via Remote Desktop Connection). I can also ping the server, on
either
the
WAN or LAN adapter.

If I try to access RWW from the workstation via
https://sbs2003/Remote, I
get "Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage".

If I try to access RWW from a workstation in the LAN via
https://192.168.16.2/Remote, I get "There is a problem with this
website's
security certificate", and if I then click "Continue to this website
(not
recommended)", I get "The page cannot be found" (HTTP error 404).

In IIS Admin, Default Website is running and can be browsed;
companyweb
also
is running and can be browsed.

Remote Access directly into the Netopia setup works, via
http://72.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080.

Obviously, this needs to be changed, but prior message strings refer
to
configuration settings which do not seem to be present on this
Netopia
model.

There is a telnet access available to this Netopia, from a local
workstation, which seems to provide a lot more options -- with little
helpful
instruction. The userguide for the 3300 series models refers to nice
menus
appearing in the telnet session, but all I see are line-by-line
responses.
