How to setup a corporate firewall to work with DirectAccess?

Asked by Julia, Puerto Rico - March 5, 2010

DirectAccess is a great technology with Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, but I don’t have any servers outside my firewall.  How to route? Our network is protected by a corporate firewall. All of our machines, including servers, are located inside the firewalls. The firewall stops all access to the capabilities of DirectAccess because the machines outside the firewall, cannot access the servers inside the firewall. What ports and services do I need to forward through my firewall to make DirectAccess work for someone outside my network? Will I have to forward anything else to allow access to files hosted on multiple servers?
