OWA woes

I am running win2k sbs with exchange 2k. I am trying to allow my users
access to OWA over the internet. I have made it work on the intranet, but
have been unable so far to get access from outside. We don't host our
website, and so have no webserver. Our internet access is set up so that all
clients access the sbs server, which then sends the requests to our gateway
router/firewall (NAT) that is connected to a local cable company. How can I
make this work? Thanks.

Hi Josh,

Have you forwarded port 443 from your router to your external nic IP?

No, I've not. How do I do that?
Also, once it is accessible from the internet, we are using the default
Exchange Virtual Server. To access it, users will type:
http://hostname.parentsreachingout.org/exchange/userid. Will the hostname be
exchangevirtualserver? Thanks.

Why do you enable both protocols? One is enough.

Hi Josh, a few questions.

1. Do you have a static IP?
2. Are you using ISA Server?
3. Does your cable company block port 80 and/or 443?

Once those questions are answered, I may be able to help
further.
