Thanks Merv,
I upgraded the router, but since this was Version 6, the latest Firmware
was
only 1.02.5 which is now updated.

- I can try a different router if this sounds like a router issue?
- Does Verizon PPOE has something unique, that causes their Dynamic IP to
"refuse" RWW?
- How could they be restricting traffic based on RWW?
- Could the IP address be "Blacklisted"?

Thanks for the help,
jaa

No experience with Symantec Endpoint. I'm assuming it doesn't install
any
firewall components that would interfere.

rdfrubber.dyndns.org [70.106.172.218] is not pingable as of 7:20 am EDT
this morning (Tues.)

After firmware is updated, re-run CEICW, enable the firewall, select
your
services and then complete CEICW.

Then install, update and run a scan with the SBS 2003 BPA to see if it
can
find any confiuration problems:

Merv, I unchecked "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" and router
should
now
be pingable.
I will upgrade the firmware tomorrow, once I check what version is on
the
Tag on/under the router.

Other information: I have Symantec Endpoint v11.0.3001 running on the
Server/Desktops and it is working great with no problems.

Is there anything there that would affect RWW?

Also, you router's firmware looks way out of date. I believe it
shows
version 1.00.9 and the latest is 4.21.1. You may want to update it.

On the Security tab of the Linksys WRT54G router, uncheck "Block
Anonymous
Internet Requests". This should allow you router to be "pingable"
from
outside your network. (i.e., will be able to ping 70.106.172.218).
This
may give us more info if we still can't ping this IP after the
change.

I concerned that https://rdfrubber.dyndns.org/remote does not
result
in a
connection. I also cannot ping the IP address associated with it
(70.106.172.218). Is this IP the WAN that you get from Verizon?

The Modem is a plain Westell 6000, and does have any router
features
builtin.
No reset button either. It is a pure "bridge" modem.

What make/model of DSL modem do you have from Verizon?

PPPoE and Verizon DSL
http://blogs.msdn.com/gzunino/archive/2004/07/29/201213.aspx

I'm wondering if the "modem" is not in bridge mode (or has a
firewall)
and
is blocking traffic into your network.

OK, dyndns updater seems to be working.

Answer:
rdfrubber.dyndns.org. 60 A 70.106.172.218

Which from your pdf (hope you don't mind) is the current IP,
but
I
can't
connect.

The port forwards on the Linksys for 443/3389/4125 only need
to
be
TCP
but
having them set to BOTH shouldn't stop them from working.

You have not told the CEICW to open 3389 (Terminal Services)
so
that
port
forward is doing nothing at this time. That's OK, for RWW and
the
RDPProxy
you only need 443 (RWW) and 4125 (RDPProxy, or 'connect
to...'
function
in
RWW).

Still, I cannot get a connection to
https://rdfrubber.dyndns.org/remote.
This is as if Verizon are blocking it, or the port forwards
aren't
working,
or SBS for some reason isn't listening to those ports on the
192.168.1.2
interface.

Please give us the full (preferably unedited) output of
'IPConfig

C:\ipconfig.txt'.

Merv, Thanks.. I think that I'm getting closer..but still
need
help..

For your convenience, I have made a PDF document that
includes
all
of
my
Linksys settings, Dyndns settings, and my latest run of the
CEICW.
Here
is
the link:
http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/RDF_Configuration.pdf

- The RWW/OWA/etc is still not working offsite? (tried
https://rdfrubber.dyndns.org/remote)

- The Email is still not working properly? (tried POP3
connector,
mail
receives fine, cannot send?, Deleted POP3 connector emails,
tried
Use
DNS,
tried Forward all , tried Use Exchange, etc..but all email
comes
in
fine,
but
will not go out?)

I have gone thru the CEICW mutltiple times trying lots of
different
combinations, but none seem to be right? On a positive
note, I
did
get
the
Linksys and the Outside NIC configured correctly. Thanks to
all
for
suggesting the correct settings there. (Internet works
great!)

ps: As mentioned earlier, I do have access to all of the
Domain
stuff
at
Register.com including:
RR DNS Record Type
----- -------------------------
- A Edit IP Address Records
- AAAA Edit IPv6 Address Records
- CNAME Edit Domain Aliases Records
- MX Edit Mail Exchanger Records
- TXT Edit TXT Records (SPF)
- PTR Edit Pointer Records and Reverse Zones
- SRV Edit SRV Records

Thanks again,
jaa

Port Forwarding... As long as you're confortable with
doing
any
remote
server management/administration using RWW to access the
SBS
server,
only
forwarding ports 443 and 4125 would be OK. There are
other
ports
that
can
be useful from time to time (3389, 1723, etc.) and
eventually
you'll
need
to
forward port 25 for Exchange mail when you quick using the
POP3
Connector.
But keep it simple for now until you get your feet wet.

POP3 Connector... No. There is no way to configure the
POP3
Connector
to
"leave a copy on the server".

One way around this might be to have the Blackberry user
access
his
mail
through Outlook Web Access (OWA), which is the little
brother
of
Outlook
2003 (the interface is very similar). You access OWA by
typing:
https://rdfrubber.dyndns.org/exchange and then use your
SBS


.
