Outlook over HTTP
|
From: Keith B on 8 Aug 2010 04:38 Hi, I have an SBS2k3 setup without ISA, I've recently inherted two mobile sales guys, who work remotely. They both get their mail by using outlook over http, this works perfectly when they are out and about. However once a week they come into the office with their laptops and they want to use the wifi in the office. When they connect to the router they are assigned an IP address ikn from the 192.168.1.xx range from the router, and outlook can't connect to the server which is on 192.18.16.2. I don't want them to be part of the SBS domain as they don't need to be, they only only come in for an hour a week. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance Keith
From: kevinp on 8 Aug 2010 09:18 I have basically the same setup on my laptop. I've set Outlook to connect with HTTP and it always asks for a password when I start Outlook. So, it always connects whenever I have an internet connection no matter where I am--in the office or out. The question I guess is how you've set up Outlook on their laptops. I'm assuming you already have OWA set up and working. Go through these steps to set up Outlook: http://www.tmc-act.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=43 On Sun, 8 Aug 2010 01:38:03 -0700, Keith B <KeithB(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >Hi, >I have an SBS2k3 setup without ISA, I've recently inherted two mobile sales >guys, who work remotely.

From: Larry Struckmeyer[SBS-MVP] on 8 Aug 2010 09:29 Hi Keith: Everything below is a educated (barely) guess. <g> It doesn't work because their is no path from inside the router to the SBS. Port forward is applied to the external ip/wan interface of the router. Look at your router and see if there are any optional networks or any way to redirect traffic from the wireless side to the SBS ip or the internal wired inteface of the router. In the admin app for the router you may find a place to add route that will allow you to pass traffic from the wireless side to the wired side. Or, my next thought is to plug them into a wall jack on the SBS network and let them get ip from the SBS. Haven't tried such myself, and depending on how your SBS is setup, when plugged into a wall jack those lappys may not be able to get to the internet. If you are using the classic SBS two nic setup, and depending on where you are in moving to SBS 2008, you may consider removing the SBS second nic and puting all the devices on the same network with the router/firewall at the edge. This is the required setup for SBS 2008 anyway, and should solve either the Outlook Anywhere or the browse from the internal LAN when not joined to the SBS issues. -Larry -Please post the resolution to your issue so others may benefit. -Get Your SBS Health Check at www.sbsbpa.com > Hi, > I have an SBS2k3 setup without ISA, I've recently inherted two mobile > sales > guys, who work remotely.
