Cannot connect to exchange through VPN Tunnel
Client system = windows xp pro with outlook 2003, Exchange Server is on WSin 2003 SB Server. I have established a vpn connection to the server and want to connect the clients outlook to the exchange server. Wwhen I use Control Panel --> Email --> Add Email ---> Exchange Account and configure it for the Exchange server I consistantly get a message telling me the server IS NOT connected. I have tried the locl FQDN, public FQDN, local ip and public ip of the server and the results are the same. Any ideas on what I am missing.
Also, I have tried RPC over HTTPS and failed miserable at that as well.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
When you establish your VPN connection are you getting an IP address and DNS server on the same subnet of the Exchange server? Are you able to ping the Exchange server?

This is great but ------ I just lost my RWW connection when I ran the Wizard. Could it be related to this change or that I am trying to use RWW on two seperate public IPs to the same SB Server? Or----- worse yet --- totally unrelated. I can connect via RDP and also the VPN DOES work except I can browse the web when connected?

>>"or that I am trying to use RWW on two seperate public IPs to the same SB Server?"
Why? This could be an issue, especially if your router cannot handle forwarding the same ports 443 and 4125 from 2 different IP's to the same server
>>" Or----- worse yet --- totally unrelated. I can connect via RDP and also the VPN DOES work except I can browse the web when connected?"
If properly configured you should be able to browse the web, however access is actually through the SBS network and not locally.

I have two seperate client users sharing the same machine. I just remove one of the router policies for rww and no change,. Also, I cannot get at either clients website. It is really strange that all this happened immediately after running "Configure Remote Access" and CEICW (Configure E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard).
This should not have affected the connections.
This should not have affected the connections.
The CEICW does configure all the remote access options. You can run it as often as you like if you want to reconfigure.
Why are their 2 external IP's pointing to the SBS? The default gateway must point to the router from which the remote clients are connecting.

1 for each distinct clients website. I also tried to keep them separate on the RWW. The default gateway does point to the routers internal ip.
I have removed rww and https from client 2

I see, 2 sites. Didn't know you could do that with SBS.
