From the manual.....

5.2. Accessing i-bays
You can access the contents of an i-bay using a web browser, Windows file sharing / AppleTalk, or FTP.

accessing an i-bay using a web browser (via http): To view an i-bay using a browser, enter "www.yourdomain.xxx/i-bayname". For example, the URL for Samson's Farms i-bay is "www.tofu-dog.com/samfarms". Assuming you are entitled to access this i-bay, you will see the index.html page in the html directory in the Samson's Farms i-bay. If a password is required to see the contents of the i-bay, a password dialog box will appear before the contents of the i-bay are served to the web browser. Use the i-bay name as the login ID.

Please read the manual. It is on your install cd in the Documentation directory or at http://edocs.mitel.com/ under SME Server with ServiceLink

Hi,

Terry is right.  Another way is to create a virtual domain which points to the I-Bay.  As Terry said it's all in the Manual.

If that is the case how do I set it up to be accessable by using address ibayname.domainname.com

Setup your external DNS (such as EasyDNS or DynDNS) to point ibayname.domainname.com to your external IP, go to server-manager and add ibayname.domainname.com as a Virtual Domain.  In the Virtual Domain settings, point it to the Ibay for the content you want displayed.
