Re: Need help with specific router/Win2003 server setup

Hi Anthony,

Well I guess so!
1) What is the service on Server C?
2) Is there any difference between the way you have set the firewall to
allow traffic to B compared to C?

The behaviour I'm seeing now, the immediate "connection lost", I had had
before when everything else was still the same.

Your mention of "Firewall" here reminded me of something, now that I
could ping from Router A to Server C, I was sure that at least that part
of the traffic was getting through.

I just remembered that the service on Server C has it's own access control
(not controlled by Windows), I just modified it to accept "outside"
connections (well, my external IP only) and it worked via telnet!

Good news!

But, as I said, I have been to this stage before, WITH routing enabled on
Server B and so on ...


Anthony, many thanks for talking me through this.

I do have a question for you though --

The original configuration with 2 subnets and the routing on Server B
was an idea I had to make the network safer, as in: even if you got
through Router A, you wouldn't be able to touch Server C, cause the
router A couldn't get to there. Would this hold true? Or would blocking
the ports on Router A be sufficient?
