Thank all for your help - my first problem is solved, i.e.
the binding order was incorrect, hence exchange looking
for a catalogue server out on the external netcard.
My second problem still exists but I have tried a few
things which "may help someone to help me" :)
The problem: When opening SBS management console, I get
an "Internet Explorer Script error" Title pop up and from
then on cannot see certain folders, cannot right click to
select properties and cannot see any network connections -
all screens appear empty.
Findings so far: All works well enough - in fact 100%
until I connect my external network car into the ADSL
router. That means that all services run, I can use the
SBS console happily and see all files UNTIL the server is
connected to the internet.
...and thats as far as I've got - I've tried nistalling
the IE6 SP1 and restarting, and have also re-installed the
SBS management console.
...any ideas? ...anyone?
