OWA via internet

[Dan]

I have Owa installed and running internally. I have received my Ip from my
isp. The company who host my domain has added the A record to dns. When I
type in My Site It cant be found.What do I need to do to My server to get
the Owa to be available via internet. I thought I had it setup ok,
but..........
I have a connection to the internet via Lan through my isps
router(firewall).The server can get online and is online Help Please

Hi Dan.

Can you ping your OWA site from the Internet by using either:

A. IP Address?
B. Site name?

Can you access the site using the IP address like this:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Pinging isn't necessarily the best test, as incoming ICMP may be blocked.
Whoever is configuring the firewall most likely needs to reconfigure it to
allow OWA access.

You can check out http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxg.htm & the
Microsoft Troubleshooting Guide for OWA (I don't remember the Q number or
URL, but it's posted in here often).

Hi Dan.

I'd be very surprised if your firewall was blocking port 80 (and I don't
think OWA uses any other), but it's definitely worth checking. Have a look
at the logs if you have access.
