Re: INTERNET ACCESS AND CISCO PIX FIREWALL

below:
Hi all,

I'm not sure I've come through to the correct section. However, one
of our clients has a Windows server 2000 setup, with a patch panal,
negear 24 port switch, samsung cable modem and a cisco 501 pix
firewall connected to the cable modem.

I am actually just wondering where the missing 'router' comes into
play in this type of setup. i.e. how do all client PCs get their
internet access without a router installed?

Also, 2 client PCs are in another room and I would prefer to give them
wireless access rather than running cables through rooms. Can I
replace the Cisco Pix Firewall with a wireless firewall router?

Many thanks to all,
Jeff

You can use an Aironet in conjunction with the PIX. The PIX is acting as a
NAT device.

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.

Not sure how? It's easy:
