HTTP Error 403.6 - Forbidden: IP address of the client has been rejected when accessing RWW

I have an SBS2003 server with 2 NIC's and which sonnect to the internet via a cisco 1600 router. Have run the wizards to allow remote access. I need to be able to access this server from any pc which has access to the internet as I work worldwide. When at home I connect to the internet and type in i.e. http:\\IP address of the external NIC and get the following screen.

When I click on "Remote Web Workplace" I get the following error.

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)

I have gone into the properties of routing & remote access and tried to change the ip adress range, but this doesn't seem to help.

What can I do to try and fix this problem?

Hi Tonymorison,

are the users connected via dhcp?
did you add the users via the http://server/connectcomputer wizard?
Did you install asp.net 2.0?


Cheers!
Tonymorison,

btw, does it work internally?
Make sure the following ports are open on your router:
25 - SMTP
443 - HTTPS (for RWW and OWA)
444 - SharePoint
1723 - PPTP VPN
3389 - RDP for remote administration
4125 - Remote Web Workplace

The machines on that local network  are getting ip address via DHCP, but imagine if I were on holiday and wanted to access mys sbs server from a public pc in an internet cafe`.
Tonymorison,

the correct link for rww is:
httpS://fqdn/remote
It works great internally. I have no probelms. My router is very basic it has no firewall settings. The only firewall I have is the sbs built in firewall and I have my entire website open. I just need to get it to work before I start setting up my secuirty

That is nu problem, I suppose you have a fixed WAN ip on your server?
Then you can create an a-record, eg: sbs.yourdomainame.com which points to your public ip
That makes it easier for the users, they just have to type https://sbs.xxx.com/remote

Tonymorison,

check if port 443 and 4125 are open, else you won't be able to connect to RWW
The page you got first goes via port 80, that is why you can connect to it.
When I click on Remote web workplace it redirects to https:\\ipaddrs\remote. I am not using a fqdn, as I am not publishing my website.
