Hi, I have a Project Server 2007 set up on Windows server 2003 (without DNS), which works well in local area network. Hostname of Windows server is WINSERVER. Now I want to enable access to project web access from Internet, so I have forwarded the required port on my router to local IP address of windows server. When I type in URL like http://my_public_IP_address:port/PWA, it gets resolved to http://WINSERVER:port/PWA - which of course won't work from anywhere else then my local network. Is there any way to stop that kind of name resolution, and just forward that port to windows server? I'm using IIS 6.0. Best regards. Vladimir

Normally with a port forward you are pointing the forward at a specific IP on your LAN. So I'm wondering why you use the following command to try to connect remotely: <a href="http://my_public_IP_address:port/PWA</B>" target="_blank">http://my_public_IP_address:port/PW... Try this without anything but the public IP of your external connection. I think you're adding in a port number when it's not required. Think about it, on your router you've set up a port forward. So, when a connection comes in from say, http, it knows to send port 80 to the specified IP address on your LAN. I'm not familiar with the software you're using but I've set up port forwards for RDC and SSH at home and when I wish to connect, I just use the external IP. If I'm connecting with SSH, my router sends it to my UNIX box. If I'm using RDC, it sends it to my XP PC.

Hello, I can't remove port number, since port forwarding on router is set to forward all traffic on my custom port (say 8080) to the same port (8080) on a local computer with privet IP address. I'm already using default http port (80) for other things. Bottom line is that the traffic is correctly forwarded to windows server, but when it arrives URL is somehow rewritten to incorrect format. I have other ports forwarded to Linux box, which work like a charm, so my guess is that something is wrong in Windows server configuration, probbably IIS. Best regards, Vladimir
