Re: changed IP address: can't receive email & need to make domain name match IP address

You may want to re-read 825763. You appear to be using a public IP address
on your SBS NIC (instead of a private IP address).

The router/firewall has a public (WAN) side and a private (LAN) side. You
need to set up the router with the public WAN (static) IP address. Then
attach your SBS server to one of the LAN-side ports on the router, give your
SBS NIC an IP address in that private IP range and re-run CEICW. In CEICW,
select your services and then recreate the Web Server certificate. Unless
you are hosting your company web site on the SBS, port 80 should be closed
on the router. You also need to open port 4125 on the router for Remote Web
Workplace (RWW).

Email... Since you have a new Static IP address, make sure that your ISP (or
whoever handles that IP) has updated the MX and A records for your domain so
they point to your new (static) public IP address. These changes may take
several hours to propagate through all the email servers on the Internet.

At this point, it appears that your MX records are not pointed to your
75.61.56.121 public IP address:

What's the make and model of your router?

If your present "router" is in bridge mode, then all data packets are
essentially forwarded on to your SBS server (much like a broadband modem).
As you are set up now, your SBS server is "bare to the Internet" (not good).
I would disconnect it from the Internet immediately. To correct this, you
need to buy at least another inexpensive router to put between the SBS
server and your present "router".

It appears that you have a static WAN (public) IP address from your ISP.
The preferred way to set this up (at least it's my preferred way) is to buy
an inexpensive router (DLink DI-604 or equivalent) and put 2 NICs in the SBS
server. Then physically configure the network and re-run CEICW.

The following diagram shows you the network setup:
(Your present router will equate to the broadband modem that is pictured to
the far left of the diagram. You should not have to do any re-configuring
of it since it will be passing all data packets on to the new "inexpensive"
router for processing)

2 NICs, Static IP, Router (works with and without ISA installed)

You may need the latest Windows 2003 for the 2nd NIC if Windows doesn't
recognize it properly during the reboot. I don't believe you'll need the
SBS CDs, but it's always a good idea to keep them handy.

Port Forwarding for 2Wire 1701HG
http://portforward.com/english/route...HG/AllowIn.htm

Looks like you'll need to click on "Add a new user-defined application" for
each port you need to forward.

Ports that Enable Remote Access to SBS Services (you'll only need a few of
these... 443, 4125, 25, 1723 {+ GRE Protocol 47 for VPN})
