RWW does not work from Internet in SBS 2003

Hi. I've configured RWW in our SBS 2003 SP2 server. It's working fine from
my local network but it does not work from Internet. I've opened ports
4125,3389,443,444 on my dsl router to no avail. Placing the server on a DMZ
did not work either. FW is disabled at the server.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

regards,

Elvyn

At what step in the process of connecting does it fail? What error message
do you receive?

No.

When I put the IP address on IE I get the following message
Page not found - connection failure
I'm using the IP since I don't have a valid SSL certificate. Address is
public and valid.

IP address of the Wan

You'll still need an SSL cert - the http doesn't do much, just hops to
https.

So... in the error message, does it fail on the https page, or http?

Why don't you generate a cert on the server? And, why don't you use a
name, rather than IP.

The CEICW can do everything for you for your RWW connection.

You seem to be making an easy job, hard!

Evlyn:

As Duncan says, just run through the CEICW wizard in the To Do list in Server
Manager. Put the name of the Public DNS record that you want to use as your
Cert. In most cases you can start with "mail.your_domain_name.com" or whatever
your public MX record is for your email to be delivered to exchange.

then from a remote location you can enter:

https://mail.your_domain_name.com/remote

Note that in SBS 2003 this will work with the ip adress as well, but you
have to put it in the cert for the RWW landing page to redirect properly.
Then from the remote location you enter:

https://public_ip/remote
