Remote Web Workspace stopped working

I had Remote Web Workspace working through a DNS redirection service. I have been trying to set up share point but now RWW stopped working.  As soon as I put the DNS redirection IP address into IE address bar, I get "You are not authorized to view this page". The redirection is ok because I use it successfully for terminal services.  What might I have screwed up?

When I put in the http: or the https:, I get:

You are not authorized to view this page
The Web server you are attempting to reach has a list of IP addresses that are not allowed to access the Web site, and the IP address of your browsing computer is on this list.

Please try the following:

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view this directory or page.
HTTP Error 403.6 - Forbidden: IP address of the client has been rejected.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 403.
Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled About Security, Limiting Access by IP Address, IP Address Access Restrictions, and About Custom Error Messages.
I found the problem. Somehow a restriction was applied to my computer's IP Address in the IIS manager of SBS. I cleared that and RWW is now working fine.

Your comment "I got through with that... I checked before posting." got me to look more closely at the "You are not authorized to view this page" message which pointed me to the problem.

Thanks Again, Jeff.
