Can't access 2003 SBS Remote Workplace from outside our network?

[Mateo1041]

Hello,

I recently set up our 2003 R2 Small Business Server, but find I can't access the remote workplace or server home page from outside our network on our domain name or external IP. Yet we can access Exchange webmail just fine when outside the network (see example below). Here's a few examples of what does and doesn't work.

INSIDE NETWORK:

http://172.16.0.251

- Works

http://xx.xx.x.xxx

(external IP) - Works

http://domainname.com

(external domain name) - Works

OUTSIDE NETWORK:

http://xx.xx.x.xxx

(external IP) - Doesn't Work

http://domainname.com

(external domain name) - Doesn't Work

http://xx.xx.x.xxx/exchange

- Works

Any ideas? How can I configure IIS to allow outside traffic to the remote workplace and home page? Your help would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks,
- Matt.

You need to make sure that port 4125 is forwarded through your firewall to your server.

I checked and the RWW port (4125) is indeed being forwarded to the server on our Linksys firewall. I'm inclined to believe it's an IIS issue though since it lists IIS in the cannot access browser message. Is there some IIS setting I need to change to make outside access function?
