Hi guys,
I recently set up a server at one of my clients offices running SBS 2003. By default, the server runs OWA (Outlook Web Access) and RWW (Remote Web Workplace) with SSL encryption. The server is running on a 4mb ADSL line with a WebAfrica shaped account.
Now, the most obvious way to test that these services were working was to phone someone who was at my house, and ask them to try and access the site, which is exactly what I did. And nothing was working. Anything running on port 80 (normal HTTP) would load perfectly, but once you try and access any SSL pages (port 443) it would time out. Initially I blamed Microsoft, and have been in communication with them for about a week. The guy has not yet tested access.
Yesterday, i re-enabled SSL on the above mentioned pages, and attempted to access them from two different iBurst connections, and 3 different computers. Nothing was working. Then I had a free moment at work, and decided to attempt to access the site. All of a sudden everything worked.
I immediatly phoned a friend, who has iBurst, and asked him to try and access the server as well. Lo and behold, it didnt work. I then phoned another person, who is not on iBurst, and asked them to also try and connect, and they did so without a hitch.
Now to me this seems like an iBurst problem.
If you guys have the time, try and access https://sovietaircharter.no-ip.org/exchange from your iBurst connections, and tell me if you can access it. Also, if you have other connections avaliable (ADSL, dial-up, or internet connections at work) please try and access the site, and post results here. This would be greatly appreciated.
