Definitely check your firewall.

Ok.

I have the same problem as you do, but only through a very
outbound-port-restricted firewall. If I go out my less-restricted SonicWALL,
it works fine.

Ah!

I'll post details after a couple good TV shows!

I would very much appreciate it.

Hello, all:

I may need some "talking down" on the following issue: I'm unable, for
reasons unknown, to connect to other SBS networks from my own, new SBS 2K3
network. I get either a "vbscript error" message, or a more generic one,
indicating that I should contact the system admin (uh, me) if I continue
to
have problems. I had ISA 2004 installed with SP3, but have since removed
it.
Still, I cannot connect to another SBS network. I get as far as RWW, but
when I want to remote control a system or get a terminal session from a
terminal server, the above-mentioned errors occur.

I'm considering backing out of SBS on my own network, as I'm finding that
I
need to get to other networks. I'm thinking of installing W2K3 Server and
Exchange, but I think it would mean that, by Best Practice, I shouldn't
have
Exchange on a DC, right? I mean, it's only SBS, with its special
construction, that allows the mix of Exchange and DC, ISA, etc.

I've tried just about everything I can think of and a few things suggested
in posts that I've made, here, and I appreciate the help I've gotten.
It's
just that I'm reaching a critical stage where not having easy access to
other
SBS networks is really causing a problem. It's disappointing, because I
really liked the idea of running a network in my own business that was
akin
to the type I like to install for small businesses: SBS and a Terminal
Server, along with workstations or thin clients, depending on the vertical
market package that is called for.

Probably, if I'm leaving SBS-land, I ought to be posting this in the
Exchange ng, or the general Windows 2K3 ng. But, you will politely let me
know if I've posted improperly. I beg your indulgence, in advance.
