Re: routing, i think

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Sorry to keep beating a dead horse, but I really just want to know if it is
possible to specify a computer behind an ICS or router from a URL or other
method without configuring the ICS or router. something like
http://myICS.com//myComputerBehindTheICS/CDrive or
\\123.456.789.321->192.168.0.5\DDrive. I know I can specify a port by doing
http://www.myDomain.com:1234, so I thought something similar might be
possible. I am not looking for an alternative approach. Thanks for the
replies so far and sorry if I didn't explain the question clearly enough.

As Doug said, you can forward any port for a specific application to the
computer of your choice behind the ICS router. If you want LAN
connectivity, a VPN is your answer. VPNs can be made through an ICS router
to any computer (Windows 2000 / XP Pro) behind it by forwarding port 1723
on the ICS box and enabling Incoming VPN connections on the ICS client.
Then you'll have full access to any shared resources on any computer on
your LAN. This may not be the most reliable setup, but it'll do in a
pinch.

I'm sorry, I shuold have written that I know that it is possible to
confirgure the computer and the router to do this. WHat I was loking for
is if there is any way from the outside to direct something to a specific
computer inside. I know it would be a security issue too. I'm just
looking to see if the protocols make it possible. Let's say for example
that I have a large network behind an ICS and there are several FTP
servers. I could program the router to allow any traffic only from my
specific external IP address. That would help keep it secure. Then if the
protocols allowed, I could freely access any computer inside without
having to configure the router or ICS for specific types of access and be
limited by that configuration. Thanks...

In the ICS adapter's properties you have to go to the Advanced tab,
Settings
button, Services tab. Open ports and map to the internal IP of the
machine
you want to access. Typically this is done for Web servers, Game
servers,
VPN, etc. You do not want to try this for direct file sharing over the
Internet. Use a VPN connection instead. If you have an AD domain, you
can
use RRAS NAT on the server OS instead of ICS.

I would like to know if there is a way to access a computer behind an
ICS
computer or router. Let's say I have a computer on the internet at
mydomain.com. It is set up for ICS and behind it are some computers
with
addresses 192.168.0.x. If there is no firewall preventing this, could I
do
something like \\mydomain.com\192.168.0.123\CDrive, for example? Or if
there
is a router, could I ask it to route in any similar way? Thanks...
