Re: 2 NIC SBS2003R2 LAN/WAN Firewall Router Connection Failure



For network setup, take a look at the following diagrams:

Two Nics, a static IP address, ISA, router
(works for SBS with or without ISA)
http://www.smallbizserver.net/tabid/266/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/76/Two-Nics-a-static-IP-address-ISA-router.aspx

Then re-run CEICW which will set up the SBS server to handle DHCP for your
LAN.

When configured correctly, you will essentially have 3 networks, separated
for security:

The Internet
Firewall-Router (public WAN side), Static Public IP from your ISP

Firewall-Router (private LAN side), Static IP 192.168.1.1
SBS External NIC, Static IP 192.168.1.2

SBS Internal NIC, Static IP 192.168.16.2
Workstations, Dynamic IPs 192.168.16.x

I have installed a 2nd NIC in my SBS2003R2 Server.

I have configured the new NIC (WAN) with IP 192.165.1.30 subnet
255.255.0.0.
I left the old NIC (LAN) with IP 192.165.1.20 subnet 255.255.255.0.

I have a firewall router between my WAN NIC and the ISP. This has an
internet facing static IP of W.X.Y.Z. It has an intranet facing static IP
of
192.165.1.1 subnet 255.255.0.0 (previously 255.255.255.0 before the new
NIC
was installed).

I have set the DHCP scope on the Server to 192.165.1.1 to 192.165.1.254 (I
guess on subnet 255.255.255.0). The exclusion is set from 192.165.1.1 to
192.165.1.10.

I have not defined a second scope on the 255.255.0.0 subnet.

My clients on the LAN can successfully reach the internet.
My server can successfully reach both clients and the internet.

Neither my server nor my clients can reach my firewall router. Before I
installed the 2nd NIC this worked fine. (i.e. before I reset it with a
static
IP on subnet 255.255.0.0 rather than the original subnet of
255.255.255.0).

Q1. Do I have to define another DHCP scope for the new WAN subnet and, if
so, how?
Q2. Do I have to set up a static route from my LAN (clients and server) to
the router and, if so, how?
Q3. Do I have to do anything to my inbuilt SBS Firewall settings (which
are
currently the default ones - I've not messed around with these)?

I need to reach my router in order to change some of the VPN tunnelling
permissions, you see.

Finally, if I plug a LAN laptop directly into the router it can't reach it
either. But the router is working fine...
