Remote Web Workplace Not Working
New SBS setup & i am having issues connecting to rwwp. I have opened ports 4125 on my router & pointed at the server’s internal ip.
If I ping remote.domainname.com then I get a reply from the servers externally ip which would indicate that the a record is setup correctly but for some reason I just cannot connect.
Any Ideas?

Port 4125 is for SBS 2003. 2008/2011 uses 987.
You router is responding to the ping. this should be disabled for security reasons.
I suspect that Group policy had not applied the necessary firewall rule to the PC to allow access through the Firewall. It takes a couple of logons/logoffs to apply.

Are you sure rob as i have setup multiple sites with 4125 & they have always worked.
100% positive.
4125 was only used by SBS 2003.
Having said that you don't need either 4125 or 987 for RWA on 2008/2011, that is only used for Sharepoint.

Thanks again Rob.
That would explain why the other sites worked too

Agreed.
Based on your earlier comments, it is working now though, correct?
As mentioned I suspect the firewall on the PC was just blocked as GP had not yet applied.
My comment about ping refers to the risk of DoS (Denial of Service) attacks caused by allowing ICMP requests (pings) on the router. Always best to disable this except for testing.

I diabled the ping as you mentioned. Thanks again

What I also find strange is that I cannot ping remote.domainname.com but from another one of my sites with exactly the same setup I get a reply?
