Re: VPN configuration with 2 network cards

Yeah, a decent router.

I recommend the ProSafe VPN Firewall devices. They have stateful packet
inspection, Dos protection, intrusion detection and AES and 3DES encryption
for VPN. When you go to Netgears site click on Products-VPN Routers and
SSL then click on Wired VPN Firewalls.

PFFFFT 'lessen your security model, it's better'.

What model of NetGear device is currently in use? Some have VPN
capabilities, some don't. NetGears are actually pretty good, even the VPN
capable models _normally_ have multiple passthrough capability if you
disable their own.

John, what NetGear devices do you use? AFAIK _none_ are firewalls, they
are simple NAT routers with _some_ firewall features. You can see from
the NetGear site that they do not have a 'firewall' category, they do
have 'routers and gateways'.

I may be a little biased as my company is also a Netgear reseller but
they do work and are very reasonably priced for the SMB market. I have
many SBS networks running VPN's with Netgear equipment. No complaints
yet.

Thanks. I believe I will do this. Theier support is good however I have
been
talking to a support rep that seems to have limited experience in this.
He is
having a "senior level" tech call me back and I think I will suggest
this
recommendation.

Netgear
is very easy to setup with VPN and you also get the support from
Netgear.

Our sbs server has been configured with 2 network cards for some
time. I
think we originally did it because of a unique situation we had
diricting
and
protecting internet traffic. One card points to the internal network
and
the
other points to the internet. Currently we use OWA and RWW with no
problem.
We do not use ISA but I am considering re-installing it for the
internet
usage reports.

My problem is that I (and netgear support) am unable to successfully
connect
VPN. Must I reconsider my sbs setup to get the vpn working?
