Re: Dynamic IP, dyndns.org, and RWW

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Merv, Regarding Exchange Email, they have their emails & domain hosted with
register.com. I logged into the Register.com account page and there I can
change all of the mail records stuff like MX, Pointer, A records etc. Will I
need to change those as well after running the CEIW or before? (I know about
the 24hr propgation time)

Will the Register.com records point to the new rdfrubber.dyndns.org?

Lastly, Can I wait to do the Exchange email until after I have the RWW
working with the Dynamic IP? If I just add the POP3 email accounts into
Exchange for now, can email be forwarded to a Blackberry phone as well as
received via the desktop's Outlook client?

Thanks again to all,
jaa

If the Westell is truly in Bridge Mode (not acting as a firewall or router;
just acting as a DSL modem and passing all traffic into your network), I
would leave the Linksys in place between the Westell and your external NIC.
Then do the port forwarding from the LAN side of the Linksys router to your
external NIC IP address (which should be in the same subnet as the Linksys
router). The Linksys subnet (example, 192.168.0.x) must be different from
the SBS subnet (192.168.16.x). Set up the port forwarding manually in the
Linksys router.

Examples of common ports that may need to be forwarded:
(depends on services selected in CEICW)

Port 443... SSL
Port 4125.. RWW Proxy
Port 25... Exchange (if mail is to be delivered directly to your SBS
Exchange server)
Port 1723 and GRE Protocol 47... VPN via PPTP
Port 3389... Terminal Services

No need to forward port 80 in most configurations.

From the SBS server | (rt. click) My Network Places | Properties, assign a
static IP address to the SBS external NIC; don't let the Linksys router
assign it dynamically (you don't want the IP of the external NIC to change
at any time). In fact, unless you plan to set up some kind of network for
guest Internet access, turn off the DHCP Service in the Linksys router.

Then run CEICW to configure SBS and its services, but do not let it run UPNP
to set up the router.

For RWW access, use https://<yourSBSservername>/remote (note the "s" on the
end of "https:").

Merv and Cris, Overall, and after looking over the Merv document, I have
the
Server Internal NIC all correct.

Regarding the Router:
- Verizon DSL is PPOE so do I configure the Router w/PPOE or
- Do I configure it in the SBS ICW PPOE settings?

At first, I had connected the Westell Bridge DSL modem directly to the
Server, and ran the ICW to use PPOE on the Broadband connection but could
not
get the Internet to work? (Will the Server be at risk w/o a router?)

Next, I added the Linksys back in between the Westell and the Server, and
set PPOE in the Linksys, and then let the Linksys give out an IP to the
External NIC via Linksys's DHCP? This has worked just fine for Internet
access thus far, but I want this all setup correctly..according to
recommendations.
(I did change the Linksys LAN IP to the 192.168.16.something, but cannot
get
back into the Linksys via the Server browser? (I will definitely change
the
Router and External NIC to Merv's recommended setup)

Once I get the External NIC/IP's/Router corrected, do I still need to do
any
Port Forwarding in the Linksys? Are there any other items to consider
regarding the dyndns stuff?

Thanks,
jaa

I'm sorry to post this "often asked" & "always specific" question but
I'm
not
getting anywhere with my client, still cannot access RWW remotely.

- Have SBS2003 R2 on a Dell 1900 server (domain: rdfrubber.com)
- Have a dynamic IP from Verizon.net w/PPOE
- Have Linksys router configured with PPOE, DHCP disabled, LAN IP:
192.168.16.xxx
- Have two NIC's in the server,
Server NIC: Set Manual
IP Address: 192.168.16.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: blank

Network NIC: Set Automatic DHCP
IP Address: 192.168.16.151
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.16.254

- Currently only using the POP3 connector to receive email. (Exchange
later?)
- Created an account at dyndns.org : rdfrubber.dyndns.org (is this
correct?)
- Ran the ICW more than once but cannot get RWW to work?

I do not fully understand what to do in the ICW regarding the dyndns?
After running the ICW, I have tried http://rdfrubber.dyndns.org/remote,
rdfrubber.dyndns.org, http://rdfrubber.dyndns.org, etc but cannot
access
the
RWW remotely?

This is my first server install with a Dynamic IP, they cannot get a
business class DSL service because of their location.
Any help would be much appreciated.
jaa
