SBS Server Problem Accessing from Client - Unless I add Server address as first DNS entry
Hello
I have installed our SBS server 2011, when I attempt to connect to the exchange server via Outlook 2007, or OWA via internet explorer, I cannot connect unless I make the first DNS entry on the client the address of the SBS server, then I can connect.
My question is what am I doing wrong, should'nt the client beable to resolve the SBS Servers name ?
once again thanks for your help in advance..

How many public Ip's do you have? What kind of router?

sorry sonicwall routers
No, the PC's connected from the outside don't use any settings from the router in your location.The router only is active within the LAN.
I think he means sonicwall firewall....

Im sorry , yes I have sonicwall routers, with 25 public facing IP address if needed. Im only using five at this time .
Im sorry for the confusion ..
Im sorry for the confusion ..
To have OWA be accessible externally, you are going to need to set up an Access Rule on your firewall. If you provide your firewall model I can post some instructions on how to do that.

The router is a TZ 190 that handles this Server
