Hi again

What I have at the moment is to authenticate all incoming users, this is
why I get the logon screen. However when I turn this off, then my external
computer connects to the ISA server (I can see the session on ISA) but
nothing happens for a few minutes then it returns an error. Usually TCP/IP
processing error, but when I run IIS using anonymous loging (IUSR_EXCH
user and password) then I sometimes get that the object is not there (or
something similar).

It just wont work externally. One thing that bugs me is that the server is
called servername.local, while the OWA rule Action tab must say
servername.com since this is the externally known DNS name. If I put
servername.local as the referal server with servername.com in the
destination set I usually get a hostname not resolved error. I have even
tried with the local server IP address for the referal server then I get a
TCP/IP processing error indicating the Internal server IP address. So the
name in the action tab is obviously important.

I think I have tried most combinations and I still get nowhere. I need to
get this service running!
