Re: Additionally



Thanks for both your help, I've ordered the second nic and will try
everything once it arrives. As for the gateway IP, I will ring them and
ask, it is just that I cannot find it on their settings page.

Thanks

What about the problem of the ISP not giving a gateway IP?

I was going to ask if it was a Dell...(does it have the 12GB default
partition?..yuk, got an issue with one now on a RAID 5 low disk space.
Help in this NG suggest Acronis imaging software to assist which I will be
trying.

By all means get the second NIC and utilise the new firewall/router.
Store old ADSL router.

1. Install second NIC into server. I assume your default IP is the
192.168.16.X.

2. Configure new router to seperate LAN IP i.e 10.0.0.x. And put ISP
details in router. Also if using all RWW functions forward ports 443.
444. 4125 to server.

3. Connect router to second nic (advise not to connect adsl line to
internet yet)

4. Router would have given server second nic an IP. configure these
details manually to second nic

5. Run internet connection wizard chosing 'broadband always on' option.
Will need ISP DNS servers.

6. Connect ADSL line to internet.

If Premium then firewall clients need new settings from server if using
ISA. Reboot pcs should suffice.

Think I have remembered everything.... ;-)

When webserver arrives then connect to DMZ and necc configuration, of
course in the 10.0.0.x range.

The sbs only came with 1 NIC preconfigured with SBS 2003 (by Dell). It
was a deal at the time and I did not think to ask for a second NIC.

The ADSL router currently goes straight to the LAN, hence my getting a
Firewall/Router to place inbetween the ADSL Router and the LAN.

The firewall/router I bought has a DMZ port, which I need to isolate a
webserver I am about to receive.

Are you suggesting
i) I get a second NIC and do away with the Firewall/Router altogether.
Then use an alternative method to secure the webserver.

or

ii) I get a second NIC, place the firewall/router between the ADSL
router (in bridge mode) and the second NIC. Then use the DMZ port to
place the webserver outside of the LAN (with relevant rules in place on
the firewall/router to give the webserver access to the database server
in the LAN)?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Joseph, may I just ask, Installation notes / installation screen of
SBS recommends 2 network cards and is 100 times more secure. Any reason
why not implemented?

The link I provided shows how to configure with 2 nics and is the
recommended route.

I am sorry but wouldn't like to advise any different as would be unable
to support.

Fianally, is the ADSL router plugged into the LAN. If so one main
reason for two nics (internet nic on different lan) if hacker gets past
the router then they have nowhere to go in 2 nic scenario. Router
plugged into lan, get past that and they can get everywhere.

Hope my info helps and apologise if it gives any issues.

So you recommend I buy a new ADSL modem that is not a router at all,
or that I just configure the one I have to be in bridge mode?

I always use an ADSL modem only in bridge mode and have an additional
low end Linksys or DLink between that and the SBS external NIC with
ISA 2004 on all my installs.

I've never heard of an ISP not providing a gateway IP when they
provide a static IP.

When I select Static IP on the WAN side of the firewall I am asked
for a gateway IP, which IP would this be? Not the original IP of
the adsl router I assume, and my ISP (Nildram) does not provide a
gateway IP, only DNS'

Thanks.

I have an ADSL router (with static IP address), which uses NAT to
pass various stuff around.

I have just bought a Firewall/Router (DLink DFL-700), which I would
like to place between the ADSL router and the network.

So my questions:

Do I need to configure the ADSL router as a bridge connection? If
so, should I then configure the WAN side of the firewall with the
static IP (provided by the ISP) that was originally with the ADSL
router?

If I configure the ADSL Router as a bridge connection, will all my
NAT settings be invalidated (which is what I would really like), or
should I remove all the NAT settings by hand?

If I configure the ADSL Router as a bridge connection, will it lose
it's LAN IP address, and so I will no longer be able to configure
it using the routers Web UI?

Thanks for any advice.
