Port forwarding doesn't happen internally full stop, if you have something running on a non-standard port you just point your client to it. Think where ports are forwarded, how and why. Your comment about needing port forwarding if running services on non-standard points internally didn't make sense, if on the same network as the server you won't go through any port or network translation just switched straight to the server.
OP didn't use the word 'external' at any point during their post.
I wanted to check on the VPN component as I needed to eliminate issues with MTUs on VM, I use Outlook Anywhere with no issues from home. Some VPNs struggle with packets being fragmented and need their MTUs dropped so that they don't break MTU.
What might be of value James if you don't have a solution would be if you could get a hold of Wireshark http://www.wireshark.org/ - get it monitoring your network card or wireless depending what you use and then record the packets while you attempt to access the Exchange Anywhere.
I am suspecting the router of doing something silly though, that or OP has an IP address in a former BOGON range and the ISA server or firewall is still configured to block it. |
there isa rare occassion where port forwarding is required even internally if it none standard ports are used
oh btw software firewall do block web browsing think you should go have anotehr look at them
they said home so that means internal, then said uni that means external unless oyu are tryting to tell me there uni is home then if that was the case they would not havea problem would they? because itnernalyl it is working.......
