Hello all:
I have been tasked with setting up a collaboration site for our consultants. I wanted to set up Sharepoint Services to facilitate this. My question is this:
Can I set it up to work so thatthe consultants can access the site from the internet? I am currently running SBS 2000, so I set up Sharepoint Services on a 2003 member server. I changed the port from 80 to 7070. Because I am running SBS 2000, I have ISA Server 2000. I have set up the protocol rules to allow traffic on 7070 and I have also set up my web publishing rules to allow traffic coming in on port 7070 to go to my 2003 server.
Here are my problems: If I have the web publishing rule for this service come before the other rules, my OWA does not work. Also regardless of where the rule falls in the list, when I try to access the sharepoint site, I can authenticate, but nothing appears. I use
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7070/ to try to access it.
Can someone please help with the setup of this. Please keep in mind that I am using SBS 2000 with ISA 2000 enabled, and my sharepoint service is running on a member 2003 server. Also to facilitate an easier explanation, here are some identifiers to use when answering so I can follow easily:
SBS 2000 Server name :sbsServer (External IP 68.200.1.1, Internal IP 192.1.1.1)
2003 Server: 2003Server (192.1.1.2)
Please keep in mind that I have to set everything up as I may have messed something up in my original config. One last thing: When I am in the office and my web publishing rule for the sharepoint services is first in the list, I am able to access the site, it's only when I attempt to access from outside my walls. I can test this in my office as I have a frame-relay we use as well for extenal access that is not a part of my external IP range.
BTW if this cannot be done I will award the points to someone who can direct me to another solution that will allow for remote collaboration (and hopefully the solution will be free)
Many thanks for any/all asssitance in this.
