setting up remote workspace

[vinniegraves]

Hi everyone

Im trying to enable remote workspace on our 2003 sbs server for the users to access webmail.

I have got a static IP address from BT.

i can go to HTTP:/server/remote and it works fine

if i enter the external ip address from a pc not on the network i get "you are not authorized to view this page"
The web server you are attempting to reach has a list of ip addresses on that are not allowed to access to site, and the ip address of your browsing computer is on the list
HTTP error 403.6 forbidden ip address of the client has been rejected (IIS)

My negear DGFV 338 has the following setting on the firewall

Default Outbound Policy: Allow Always

DNS:TCP Allow Always 192.168.254.1:1701 ANY ADSL NONE Never
DNS:TCP Allow Always 192.168.254.1:1723 ANY ADSL NONE Never
DNS:TCP Allow Always 192.168.254.1:4500 ANY ADSL NONE Never
HTTP Allow Always 192.168.254.1 ANY ADSL NONE Never
DNS:TCP Allow Always 192.168.254.1:4125 ANY ADSL NONE Never
ANY Allow Always 192.168.254.1:3690 ANY ADSL NONE Never

any help would be greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

Vince

did you forget the /remote after the

http://ipaddress

?

You need to connect to HTTPS - yes, it's a secure connection, and you need to pass port 443 (HTTPS/SSL) through your firewall to your server.

To do remote control of your workstations, you will also need to pass TCP 4125 through your firewall to your server.

And if all you want to do is access OWA then the address would be

https://FullPublicDNSName/Exchange

I hope you find this post helpful.

Buy a cert for your site. GoDaddy's are the cheapest, about $19. That will make it possible for you to do Exchange ActiveSync as well as not get cert errors when users use OWA.
