Re: VPN Windows 2000

I am with you 100%. I never and I mean NEVER allow a server to be outside of
a firewall. Net protocol (FTP,HTTP,SMTP, etc) servers reside in a firewall
protected DMZ and communicate with SQL servers, etc... within the intranet
through very controlled limits.

I have personnaly used port forwarding for PPTP (port 1723) to access my
office remotely for years and have never had problems. More over I would not
feel comfortabkle with anything less since my client data is of a sensitive
nature.

cheers,
James

I inherited a network that uses 2000 server for the VPN. The server
has two nics one for the external and the other for the internal. Did
this device really need to have two nics? Isn't that a little
dangerous placing a windows box outisde of the firewall? Can't
i just tell my PIX to port over VPN to that particualr box and use one
nic with the internal Ip address? If so what ports do I need port
over? thanks for your help.
