Re: Connecting Via "Connect to Small Business Server Connection" and IP ranges

Firstly: Setup Outlook to work via RPC/HTTPS instead of VPN:
Accounts
Exchange Account
Advanced (2007)
Connection Tab
Exchange Proxy Settings:
https://myrww.mysbsdomain.com
Check: Only connect to proxy ...
msstd:myrww.mysbsdomain.com
Change Proxy Authentication to Basic.
OK ... Next ... Finish.
Close and restart Outlook. Prompt must be filled out:
mysbsdomain\username
password
From there they are good to go.
Make sure you ran the CEICW to configure the server.
BTW, make sure your server is not on 192.168.0.0/24, 1.0/24, 2.0/24, 3.0/24, or 4.0/24 because some common consumer internet router/gateways use those IP ranges out of the box and that will muck up any VPN connections.
Change the IP range to something like 192.168.10.0/24 via the IP Change Wizard and verify that the settings took, reboot your workstations to pickup the new IPs.

I manage a small SBS 2003 setup for a small company.
It has been running fine for several months, but the now want to
delelop it further.
I have set up remote access so that 2 employees can get emails via
OWA, which works fine. I can also remotly access the server for any
maintenance.
The MD has now purchased a laptop and would like to be able to access
files and use Outlook from the server remotely.
The laptop has been set up and I have taken it home to try and
connect.
I have installed the SBS connection manager onto the laptop.
When I connect the laptop to my home connection I can then connect
using the Connect to Small Business Server Connection and enter the
correct user name and password.
However when I launch Outlook it will not connect, also the icon in
the corner say's that the server is unavailable.
Is this because my home network and the SBS server are on the same IP
range.
My home network has a range of 192.168.1.0 - 254 (255.255.255.0) with
the router on 192.168.1.254
The SBS server has a range of 192.168.1.0 - 254 (255.255.255.255) with
the router on 192.168.1.254
These are my details fron IPCONFIG when I have connected the laptop
Network Connection
DNS Suffix : home
IP Address : 192.168.1.80
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.254
Small Busuiness Server Connection
DNS Suffix : xxxxxxx.local
IP Address : 192.168.1.16
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.254
It also has a server address of 192.168.1.20
When I go to Administrative Tools - Routing and Remote Access on the
sever, the correct Laptop and user are displayed in Remote Access
Clients and one of the VPN ports are being used.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Trevor
