Yes I know....Gasps of horror......but it is not as it seems.
We have SBS2K fully patched, and running well with a Vigor 2600 router. Port
80 is closed on the router, and will stay that way. Between the two (in the
range 192.168.1.***) we have some wireless (802.11b) connected PC's. It was
thought too much of a risk to bring them "inside" (192.168.16.***). They
predominantly access the net, which they do quite happily via the router. If
they need any server files, they "come in" via VPN.
Anyway because of interference, we need to do some channel planning and
testing. A download speed test if useful to check wireless connection
speeds. At present we use a web based speed test, which 1)is limited to the
ADSL speed, and 2)the results are dependant on other router traffic.
So I thought why not use the IIs in SBS as a speed test site. I've run the
ICW to enable web traffic. Got a site running, with a download file. Only
problem is I can only access the site from 192.168.16.2, i.e. internally. No
matter what I do I can't get correctly to the page from 192.168.1.2, which
is obviously what I want. I'm using the "default web site".
I do get a page on 192.168.1.2, but when I update the "home" page on the
server 192.168.16.2 picks up the changes with a refresh, but 192.168.1.2
stays with the old page, even with a refresh.
I did look at smallbizserver.net, but I don't think I need to get into
headers, and shouldn't my running the ICW have sorted ISA?
Anyway are there any FAQ's or similar, to take me to the basics of getting a
simple site functioning on the external server address?
Or any pointers to what I'm doing wrong!!
