Title: Windows SBS 2008 R2 port forwarding problems
Post by: ejjones on Tuesday 11 January 2011, 01:04:07 pm
I am trying yo set up a Windows SBS 2008 R2 server behind EFW 2.4.3. I have port forwarded 25, 80, 443, nd 987 to the IP address of the server. The server is in the green zone. When running the "Set up your internet address" wizard I keep getting the port blocked error for the ports. The remote web workspace, the internet domain name work fine. The exchange email is not set up yet. What am I missing?  :-\

I think you can ignore that warning and just continiou that SBS wizard. Afterwards configure your services and then verify if the port forwarding is working. You can test port 25 using "telnet external IP" 25.
Test your ports on an external location. If you can 't connect to those ports then i suggest posting a screenshot of your port forwarding settings.
