Hi,
I will like to make my SharePoint intranet site http://intranet.company.local accessible over the internet.
I want to use the url portal.company.com to access the site from internet. i.e outside of my LAN.
I will appreciate a step-by-step approach to achieve this.
Regards,
Bisi.
I have created external DNS record and it points to a valid external IP address.
When I ping the company.com from my LAN, it resolves to the external IP address.
Now I have also created AAM as internet zone with the name company.com. I edited the binding by adding the second entry and put company.com in the host name, 80 in port and the external IP address the ping is resolving to.Â
However, when I browse from the link from outside and within the LAN, it says page cannot be displayed.
I expected that the site will come up since the name is resolving to the IP but it is not showing.

Bisi
You’ll want to create an external DNS record of “portal” in the company.com zone that points to an IP that is allowed on the firewall to reach tcp/80 and/or tcp/443 (or a custom port) through your firewall to the SharePoint server.
On the SharePoint server, go to Central Administration, then to Alternate Access Mappings. Â Add the new AAM to your Web Application (use another zone, like “Internet” for example). Â Next, edit the IIS site binding in the IIS Manager for that particular Web Application. Â That is about it.
