	[x] Attachment Details

I can not get SBS to connect over the internet.

Zones: SBS Small Business Server, Microsoft IIS Web Server, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: Microsoft, SBS, 2003, Change in Internet Access

I had been testing MS SBS 2003 with www.realeasy1.com and everything was working well. Email was resolving correctly too. The router ports were configured for SBS using 192.168.1.200 which points to SBS 2003 server

Then I put the SBS 2003 on line with the real name www.realeasy.com and now can not connect via the web but I CAN via the local IP address 192.168.1.200. The only change to The public DNS was an additional A record of ww2.realeasy.com which I have pointed to my public static IP address. The A record @ is pointing to our hosted webpage with our internet provider.

I can see the name resolved in nslookup.

I know the name works (ww2.realeasy.com) as I have Rhinosoft FTP Server on a different port and server that works very well.

Like I said the private IP address connection works. The correct ports are open on the router. The web services are started but I cannot connect via the public internet address nor the public web address. I just can't figure out what I need to change or add to SBS 2003.

The web address listed is not mine but is representative of the real address used.
