Hi
I have recently taken over a server, this was set up by a guy who says he is a qualified Microsoft Engineer, but next he tells me that he has never got remote access to work on any server he has set up, so it doesn't give me much faith. Anyway, I am having problems with remote web access, if I just enter the IP address from the internet I get a 403.6 error, if I enter the IP/evchange the web outlook works ok. I don't seem to be able to VPN either. All works okay from the network side, its only remote access which does this
I don't have any barred ip addresses on companyweb, I have run the wizard a few times and checked the settings.
Any help is very appreciated as I am not sure what else to look for.
Thanks
Richard
When I set up a server I run ICW and at the web certificate section I add the static IP address rather than a domain. Let me know if it worked for you.

Thanks for the response, unfortunatley I already have the IP rather than a domain for the certificate - I guess the certificate must work as I can get into web outlook (which works fine).
Is this std or premium?
does this happen on all accounts (or users)?
whats your router?who is your ISP?
single or dual NIC?
im leaning to a port block rather than permissions. I have a feeling its on the outside of the Wan Nic - but let me know your answers first
Tez
Std R2
You don't get the initial log in page appear if you enter the ip address, just the error, so all users
The router is a generic cheap and cheerfull non branded thing, and I have set port forwarding on all the ports listed in the SBS help
Our ISP is F9.co.uk, we have a professional package with static ip
single NIC
Can you confirm port 4125 is also fwded?
What would happen if you were to set the router to DMZ to your NIC - does it still fail? (change it back to port fwding if needed)
Are there any IIS restrictions?
I am not sure if it is (as I cannot remotely access the network ) however, I am on another SBS network now, and we dont have 4125 forwarded - what is it for?
I will try the DMZ, but it will be a few days as I have to drive to site.
To the best of my knowledge there are no IIS restrictions (certainly no barred IP addresses)
port 4125 is the RWW / Remote Desktop port.
DMZ opens all the ports and is a way of determining if the router is blocking access
Hi,
some thoughts here:
Problems could be:
On this basis we need to check out the two options
thanks

If I enter the IP addres/remote then it works.............
However, in my defence (I am sure I am not that stupid) if I just use the IP address to connect remotely to the network I am on now then it works.
Thanks for your help.
I forgot to ask, the company name which appears on the login page, where is it set?? only the guy who did the initial setup spelled the company name wrong....and I cannot find out how to change it (I would search, but I am not even sure what it is called)
Thanks again for all your help guys.

I had tried the MS knowledge base which doesn't cover this - I have got it sorted now.
Thanks again for all your help
