Hi,
How can we publish the web services from an intranet to public internet?
I had tried to use Web Application Proxy WAP and its not working. Is it the configuration problem or NAV web services are not able to be publish through WAP?
Any comments are greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with WAP either, but as Stefano noted, it should be easy to expose just one port for ODATA (or SOAP, depending on which type you're looking to open up). Your router / firewall can help you limit the addresses from which someone can connect to the port, or have a different external port number map to the port defined for ODATA or SOAP in NAV (by default, they are 7048 and 7047, respectively).
Also, what authentication type are using for NAV? Are you using an SSL cert with the NAV service tier (highly recommended, otherwise your data is traveling unencrypted). If using NavUserPassword as the authentication method, make sure you don't enter your default password to authenticate from the web service call. You'll need to use Web Service Access Key as your password (along with your user name as the username).
I hope this helps. If my response has answered your question, please verify by clicking Yes next to "Did this answer your question?"
Thanks for the reply.. I will talk to the network team and try that approach.
Hopefully someone still know how to configure WAP for the publishing of the Web services.
Not so clear, but you can open a door in your firewall and you can map an internal url to an external one.
