Hi Cdawk, While there are a million possibilities for it not working, here are some thoughts: 1. redirect using the same name the external users use to access the site. Create a split DNS or a HOSTS file so that it resolves to the right address 2. Make sure you're using ONLY basic authentiation on the OWA directories 3. Don't publish any other sites on the OWA Server (I know you would never do that, but I've seen other people who have) 4. For your Destination Sets, try these: /exchange* /exchweb* /public* While you shouldn't need to do that, it seems to work better for some people.

I GIVE UP !!!!!!! http://www.ISAserver.org OK, Ive tried everything and I still cant get OWA to work externally. Internally no problems, externally all I get is the logon screen. When I input the username and password, it waits a while (up to 5 minutes) then I usually get a TCP/IP Processing error or various other errors. BTW Exchange RPC works out of the box (but is slow for the connections we have) My setup is as follows: dial up connection with static IP address local domain (active directory) : companyname.local dns (forward/reverse) : companyname.local action: exchangname.companyname.com (Ive tried .com and .local and the IP address) destination sets exchangename.companyname.com /exchange/* /public/* /exchweb/* incoming listner: configure listners seperate : external IP address basic authorisation IIS configuration /exchange/,/public/,/exchweb/ basic authorisation default domain (Ive left it blank, Ive also tried with both .com and .local domains here) Regards very frustrated IT Manager/System admin/PC support yada yada yada ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org/ Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
