Question

How do I set the advanved routing table to allow me to access my small business server through hughesnet?

Asked by: fasteddie565

I Use Hughesnet satellite as my ISP.  How do I configure my router (Advanced Routing) to point my static IP address to my Small Business Server?  I had it previously configured and it worked fine, but didn't save the advanced routing table settings.  Right now, the IP address and the subdomain I set up point me to the router.  I need to set the advanced router settings to forward the traffic to the SBS IP address.  It doesn't seem that the obvious settings are working.  No matter what static route I install, the routing tables do not seem to change. The internet connection works fine as does the intranet except I have lost access to the sharepoint homepage on the SBS.  I have attached the basic set up which seems to be working and providing Internet access. Thanks in advance

You do not need to setup advanced routing, but you do need to set up port forwarding.  RDP is over port 3389, so you would set up port forwarding for 3389 and put your internal IP address of the server in that section.  Do the same for the other services, I.E. SMTP at port 25, HTTP at port 80, etc.

You could also put the IP address of your server in the DMZ section of your router, would would just dump all incoming port requests to your server IP and allow it to respond to anything.  This would fix your issue, but would open up your server to attack on the internet.  The port forwarding is a function of the firewall in the Linksys, which guards your server from attack on random ports, and hopefully your server has been patched and locked down to the best it can be on the other ports that you are making public.

I use 192.168.1.x Intranet I addresses for all of my machines to include the server.  I had this configured once before but cannot remember the settings.  I do not want to put the machine in the DMZ.  All of my interaction is through the sharepoint web interface email, file access etc.  The satellite company says to set up basic set up as per the file I attached, my issues is passing the traffic once it gets through the satellite modem to the router to the SBS.  I have made the obvious changes in advanced routing, but nothing I do changes the routing table.  I have SBS updates to install, I will do that and see what effect it has.

Does this help?

So, under your router, there should be a section called applications and gaming... or something to that effect.  In there, you will see a start and end column, a protocol column, and an ip address column.  So, say you wanted to get to your web server from the internet.  You would put port 80 in the start and stop columns, set the protocol to TCP, and put the ip address for your server in there.  Apply those settings, and now when you try to hit the IP address you have assigned to your linksys from Hughes, the router will forward that port 80 traffic, which is web site traffic, to your server, and back out.  This is the standard way to allow access to a server that is sitting behind a firewall such as the linksys.  You do not need to do anything with the advanced routing, this is only used if you have multiple routers, and are using all routable IP addresses on your network, which 192.168.1.x is not.  Port 80 is WWW traffic, port 443 is HTTPS traffic, Port 3389 is used for doing remote desktop to your server from outside, port 25 is SMTP or email traffic, etc.  You just need to determine what services you are needing to access from the outside, and put in those ports on the linksys.

I updated the server OS and my antivirus/firewall SW.  Then I ran the remote access wizard and that seems to have restored my connectivity.

Thanks for the prompt response.
