Sharepoint site dont accessible from internet

Question

Hi,
I have created two site one for the intranet ( http://servername:15273/sites/BatchMaster/default.aspx ) and other for the internet ( http://servername:43899/_layouts/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fsites%2fBatchMaster%2fdefault.aspx). In both of these site i didn't give HOSTHEADER and URL. Internet site have Form Based Authentication (FBA) implemented and it is working fine when i access internet site from my company network. But When i try to access internet site from the my home system or any other system which don't have any mean with company network, internet site is not accessible.
Can you please help me whats the problem is?
i am looking for your reply.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Sounds like a networking issue, most likely port 43899 isn't open on the firewall.  Ideally you shouldn't open this, i would suggest extending your site again and giving it a host header, then have the networking team make sure that the host header is accessible from the outside.

Could you telnet the port with your server ip ?

Answer 3

Have you tried accessing it with Firefox in stead of Internet Explorer (which I assume is your default browser)?

Cause I had a problem once where SharePoint with FBA was accessible in the network with IE, but not from outside, with Firefox though it was also accessible from outside. The solution to this problem can be found in this post: SharePoint not reachable through Internet Explorer, with Firefox no problem.
