Re: Modem Sharing SBS 2003

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hi Gray,

Thanks for using SBS newsgroup!

The modem sharing feature is based on the Windows Firewall/Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS) service, the Windows Firewall/ICS service is
designed for sharing internet connection to provide convenience to access
internet. However it can not protect network powerfully.

The SBS 2003 provides Name and Address services (NAT) to provide internet
connection, in this way, the internal computers will not expose to External
network and it can not be easily attacked.

Hope above information helps. I am happy to be assistance of you!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu
