We have a Marketing "front end" web site as our default web site and we allow
our customers to do some transactions on this site using an application
written in ASP.Net.

Our web server is behind a router that our ISP forwards requests for our
domain to and out router forwards it to the IP and port for our default web
site.

My question is:
How can I allow my customers to get to our SP portal web site (on our server
just a different site and on a different port) so we can exchange documents
and collaborate, etc.?

I am confused on how this might be done since the requests from the internet
are sending packets. How can I put a hyperlink from our default web site to
our sharepoint site? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Michael

You need a public DNS entry to http://portal.yourdomain.com then it will
forward the request to your IP. Then if you tell you firewall to forward
those request to the IIS server with sps on it all is well. There are lots
of other considerations before you give the whole world access to your
portal though. Do some reading first or find a consultant to help you. :)
Microsoft has a white paper on deploying SharePoint to the extranet use ISA
server. Handy to read even if you aren't going to use ISA server.
