Microsoft SharePoint(TM) Portal Server 2001 Resource Kit (Examples & Explanations Series)

Use this procedure to confirm that you have set up your server correctly to access it from the Internet.

Perform the following procedures from a computer that is not connected to your corporate LAN or WAN, either directly or by dialing in to the network.

To test the extranet from the Internet:

1. From the computer connected to the Internet through an ISP, type http://external_FQDN.

   For example, type http://AdventureWorks.adventure-works.com.

   The default Web page (default.htm) that you created in the previous section should appear.

2. If the default Web page appears, type http://external_FQDN/workspace_name

   For example, type http://AdventureWorks.adventure-works.com/Marketing.

   The dashboard site for the Marketing workspace appears.

If you cannot access the dashboard site, see the section Troubleshooting later in this chapter.
