This is something that’s been bothering me and I’m pretty new to routing so I’ve had a hard time figuring out a solution. I’m using a cisco 5505 that is setup pretty standard. I have an exchange server that is accessed by clients internally using only an internal IP (10.x.x.x) and externally using an IP assigned by my ISP. Internally, I cannot access the external IP at all (ping, tracert, etc..) I know I can setup this access if I need to but that’s not really the problem. I’ve added a wireless router to this configuration and everything works well but when users connect to the wireless router they naturally cannot access my mail server using the external IP since they are part of my local network. How would I go about assigning IPs given out by the wireless router access to my mail servers external IP? This is an issue mainly because when cell phones that are configured to access externally at all times attempt to access the mail server from the internal network they can’t.
I hope this makes sense.
