Howdy,
I had my IT guys set up an external IP address to get accesspoint anywhere on the web...
Any idea why i can't get access to the QMC via this same external ip?
Maybe there are blocked ports or firewall / group policy restricted the access - but you should think carefully if you makes your server available from external. It's rather not recommended - you could use VPN.

Thanks for your response Marcus,
Do you say that, even though we authenticate using active directory credentials? Is it really a big security concern?
-David
I couldn't say how great the risks are. The server could be ddos attacked, exploits against browser / protocolls / services, staff could leave the company ... What is responsible and what is paranoid? I don't know.

Agree with Marcus here, certainly wouldn't recommend it

If you really, really want to access AccessPoint from a browser on the external web, then the way I have done it is :
DO check with your powers to be about your company's security policies.
*******************************************
Opening any ports from the external web direct through to your LAN is very insecure.
This is not the case how I have done it as the additional new QV Web Server with IIS in the DMZ acts as broker and allows no direct access web to LAN.
If in doubt be very paranoid and make sure anything you do is approved at a senior level above you.
Thank you for your help guys!
The VPN can be such a pain for users...we're hoping to have a secure enviroment with this external IP...
Though i'm getting the impression that's not possible to do it while being secure
