RWW with SonicWall

Well, let's start by looking at your IPCONFIG /ALL from the server.  Because if you can't use RWW internally then we need to find out why.

Jeff

FYI, the following ports should be open on your Sonicwall:

25 - SMTP
443 - HTTPS (for RWW and OWA)
444 - SharePoint
1723 - PPTP VPN
3389 - RDP for remote administration
4125 - Remote Web Workplace

First off Thank you for the timely response Tech,

Here is the ipconfig, there are some strange characters in here I am not used to seeing,

YIKES...

That wonderful IPV6 stuff...

You should ONLY have your Server's IP address listed for DNS.  Also, you can only have a single IP address assigned to your NIC.  Otherwise the SBS wizards don't work, and if you can't use the wizards you can't configure your server properly.

Jeff
TechSoEasy

AHHH,

Direction please, I am getting burned out!!!!! HELLPP

Ok I walked away and cleared my head, any Ideas how I am ending up with the extra configs??

I am only using one Nic

Well, I'm not entirely sure what those Pseudo-Interfaces are all about... but for your basic Network Interface, open up Network Connections and then the properties of the Network Interface.

Remove the IPV6 DNS entries, as well as the additional IP address entry from Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Advanced Settings.

Jeff

Toredo Tunnelling:  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/teredo.mspx

See if IPV6 is installed in Add/Remove Windows Components Network Components.  If it is... get rid of it.

Jeff
TechSoEasy

IPV6 is now uninstalled  however I could not find any DNS entries for this?

I have the nic set for the sonicwall ip address, using the nic as it's own gateway, with the sonic as DNS server

No, you should have the NIC's DNS entry set as the SBS's (10.183.142.2) with the Sonicwall's IP as the gateway.

Then you need to have your ISP's DNS IP's available to use in the CEICW as the Forwarders.

Jeff
TechSoEasy

Here is what I have

TCP/IP Properties

IP Address 10.183.142.2
Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0
Default 10.183.142.1  (firewall IP)


Primary DNS

10.183.142.2.

I also have ISP Primary and Secondary DNS set up in CEICW

BTW if you get me through this you will get an xtra fin :)

Why are you using a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0?  Use 255.255.255.0 instead... you don't need that many available IPs.

Also, please post the complete IPCONFIG /ALL it's much easier for me to evaluate that.

Jeff
TechSoEasy

That subnet mask was automatically entered for some reason, when I changed it I got an outside of scope warning. here is the new ipconfig /all

C:\>^V

I change the subnet to 255.255.255.0

Okay, that looks much better!  Now run the CEICW again and make sure that you don't skip any sections by selecting "Do not change".  Also, make sure that you enable RWW on the Web Services Screen.

Jeff
TechSoEasy

Okay, I ran CEICW again and reset everything, making sure that RWW was endabled, I still cannot connect to remote clients or servers, internally, OWA however is working.???

But you are getting to the RWW main menu?

When you joined your workstations to your domain, did you use http://UTEK-SERVER/connectcomputer?

Do you have other servers on your network?

Jeff
TechSoEasy

Yes I can get to the main menu, and yes I did join the domain using http://connectcomputer (unjoined and rejoined again last night) this is a single server network.

Please advise what the EXACT error you are receiving when trying to connect to a workstation's desktop.

Connectivity to the remote computer could not be established. Ensure that the remote computer is on and connected to the Windows Small Business Network

I can connect to clients and server using RDC internally, but not externally, external connections just ainta happenin thing





Scott

Well, that's an easy one... you don't have port 4125 open on your router and pointed to your SBS.

Jeff
TechSoEasy

therein lies the problem, I am using sonicwall enhanced and I have not found port forwarding anywhere, I had to create access rules, which I did, from WAN to LAN  using Primary WanIP with Remote Services (4125) to LAN Ip (10.183.142.2)

Jeff,

Thank you for your patience and time, I will let you know how I make out
