OWA and PIX 515

[BabylonDrifter]

Hi

I have created a static nat form an external ip # 204.32.8.8 to an internal 10.1.4.61 I have also created an access-list to allow full access to the external ip # and I changed the fixup http 80 to NO fixup http 80 (last act of despiration).

My issue is that I want to allow users to access the exchange OWA, but under my current config clients are takeing 10 to 30 seconds just to display their inbox. The issue looks like a firewall one since internally this is a very fast connect. Users connect to the OWA the following way

http://204.32.8.8/exchange

-- is the slash causing some type of problem?? Can you nat to this directly?

As for the no fixup smtp I only did this just to see if it would work what does it do anyway?

I have a PIX 515 version 5.3(1)

Please help if you have any ideas

Thanks

Charles

HI.

My suggestion is not to solve that problem, but to avoid future worse advantures by not allowing OWA to your internal Exchange server, or at least only allowing it via VPN.

I used to have the same problem until I upgraded everyone to IE 6. I noticed a large speed difference.
