The article was perfect kdyer, thank you. I didn't realize that they called it access mappings. Also, another article that was simple and to the point is located here:<br />

This isn't the most secure method, but we have an external company that cleans all of our traffic destined to our sharepoint box so I'm not as worried.

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I am trying to implement having Sharepoint accessible via the internet. Right now if you hit the Sharepoint URL from outside the network (sharepoint.domain.com) You get prompted with your authentication page as we expect. As soon as you authenticate the URL changes from sharepoint.domain.com to the internal hostname of the sharepoint server (domain-spoint there is no domain.com) and a connection error comes up. Does anyone know how I can remedy this? I have checked and changed DNS with no luck. To break it down some more:<br />
<br />
Outside DNS Hostname: sharepoint.domain.com<br />
Inside DNS hostname: domain-spoint<br />
Internal DNS CNAME record: sharepoint.domain.com -&gt; domain-spoint<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Sharepoint Access on the Outside

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.

Microsoft SharePoint

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
