rpc server unavailable

Afther placing my FE server in the perimiter, and configuring my cisco pix
firewall correctly , I am stil unable to start exchange system manager,
unable to find domaincontrollers, errors in eventlog 1005
MSExchangeSA,MSExchangeDSacces 2104 , I have configured my domaincontrollers
for rpc with regedit .
Stil when I open all the ports on my Pix no communication possible.
But I can ping the domain servers and reverse lookup works fine.
All the comments are very welcome cause I want the FE to work asap for OWA.
Thank you all in advance

Hi,

And you have followed this document step by step?

Most people don't recommend installing the front-end server in a DMZ. The
recomendation instead is to install the fe server on the LAN, install an ISA
server in the DMZ and publish OWA etc.
