OWA - No static IP

[ozzroo]

Hi

I am having trouble configuring OWA. We dont have a static IP address. Is this required? I do a internet ip search for the router on the server and it gives me the IP address that it connects to the internet with. I type this number into web browser and nothing happens.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong

Thanks

Have you forwarded the corrct port on the router to the Server?

If you dont have a static IP use Dynamic IP at

I have several SBS2003 systems on this config and they work fine.

Hope this hels

Doesn't OWA use a secured address ?

What port is meant to be forwarded?

I can type this into web browser and get OWA

https://<servername>/exchweb/bin/auth/owalogon.asp?url=https://glasgowserver/exchange&reason=0

If i replace server name with the public IP address of my router i get nothing

try

http://servername/exchange

What port is meant to be forwarded
the https port is usually 443

Ok I phone my isp and got them to set us up with a static ip address. The server only has one network adapter.

How do I configure the server/router with the new static IP address?

Does this static IP address need to get changed on the local router address or is this a different address.

Sorry I am new to all this. The other admin person left and I have been stuck with it

A Static IP is not required, I've recently installed RPC over HTTP/OWA and found this information to be helpful.
