Re: SBS 2003 Standard getting ISA

Hi Doug:

Thanks for the clarification.

For wireless access to the SBS server you need a WAP on the LAN side of the
SBS, on the same subnet as the internal nic of your SBS. This will also
allow wireless access to the internet by computers or notebooks that are
properly joined to the domain.

For wireless access to the Internet, by say guests or sales people, who are
not part of the domain, you need a WAP on the same sub net as the router,
plugged into one of the available ports on the router.

you don't publish the ssid of the WAP's and you give the internal password
to your users and the external password to guests.

With this config, your network will be just as secure as it is now.

Look here:

the best, and most often quoted document on the subject.

Currently the server has 2 nics wan nic connected to a wireless router.
but
now need to use wireless access.

But as the router is on the wan side it will not allow the wireless
equipment to connect to the domian.

I have been advised to connect the modem straight into the wan nic and put
the router in AP mode on the lan side, but with you ISA the server isn't
really protected.

Was thinking if possiable to add a three nic to the server connected to
the
router on the same subnet to allow the wireless connections via that link.

ie. Wirelesss Router ---> Wan port ---> sbs 203 --> lan port --->switch
192.168.1.1---->192.168.1.2
192.168.0.2-->192.168.0.5-50

or is there a better software application that provides the services as
ISA

I don't think so.....

You could put it on a separate Windows 2003 member server.. a
configuration
that some prefer.

What is the purpose. Something like a Watchguard will give you same/more
protection for less money.
