Re: Can you tell me about the firewalls and Belkin

What we do here is to have things set-up like this:

Internet
Broadband Router [acting as DHCP Server] > WiFi Access Point > WiFi Clients
External NIC on SBS
ISA 2004
Internal NIC on SBS
LAN Switch > LAN Clients [wired]

*you could obviously use your Broadband Router with WiFi instead of the
separate devices noted above*

This keeps the [less secure by its nature, regardless of how you configure
it] WiFi side of things external to the actual SBS network. Any users using
WiFi can simply VPN into the SBS network from the external side and work
exactly as if they were wired to the network. Guests can 'jump onto' your
wireless network for Internet access if you give them the corresponding key.
This way even if someone gets onto your WiFi side, your busines network is
still kept secure behind ISA.

>From your previous posts, it sounds like you already have 2 NICs in your
Server so you really just need to run the CEICW accordingly. Obviously, the
Internal and External networks need to be on different IP ranges/subnets but
all you'll need to do on that side is to ensure that the Router is on a
different range to the Server's internal NIC. CEICW will do all the rest...

HTH!
