SBS2003 and Outlook 2003
----------
Outlook 2003 with SBS2003 with SMS router
Hi:

I have SBS 2003 running on my server. I have only one physical server which has the file server, web server and exchange server. This server is connected to SMS router SMC 7004 AVWBR. MY sever is connected through wire and not wireless. Also I have Ports 110,25,80,3389,445,53,135 ,1720 and 1723 opened on the router.

I have enabled the firewall on the SMC router.

Now my client is sitting on the web which is also connected to a LINKSYS router. I connect to my server using VPN which is bundled with XP.

When I start outlook ( which is configured for the Exchange Server ), it displays the error message "Exchange Server unavailable".

If I disable the firewall on the Server side ( SMC Router ) then outlook 2003 works fine. Also if I enable the firewall and put the server machine on the DMZ, then also outlook 2003 works like a charm.

When I configure outlook, and when it ask for server name, I give the IP address of the Server given by the router ( NOT THE PUBLIC STATIC ADDRESS ), it can resolve my account name and puts a underline on the server box and user box. However as soon as it resolves my account name, it gives error message Exchange server unavailable.

I have been struggling with this for the last few months and no body could help me so far.

I would appreciate if any one can come up with a great plan to make it work.

thanks in advance..
