Do I have what I need for
a VPN?
----------
Do I have what I need for
a single user VPN
connection to my
office?
At the
office, we have T1 with a
CISCO 2542 router
(software version 11.2).
NT Domain. The ROUTER is
blocking many ports
especially ports
135-139.
In the
past, from my HOME W2K
Pro machine, I simply
dialed directly into our
NT 4.0 RRAS
server.
Now, I
have installed a
BELLSOUTH ADSL at home.
This came with a ALCATEL
SpeedTouch USB DSL modem.
Been doing alot
of reading, research and
I am not sure if I have
everything I need for a
very simple single user
VPN connection from HOME
to my Office network or I
have to "buy" install
something else.
It
seems I have everything
but a "VPN Server" on my
network? Could be just
installed W2K Server on
one of the office network
machines?
Any info
would be
useful?
My end
goal is to be able to
setup drive maps like I
had before when I was
dialing directly. If
I'm able to get this VPN,
will I have to open the
router 135-139
ports?
thanks

Win 2k VPN
----------
Santronics,
You have
what it takes! I'd go for
the Win2k to Win2k VPN.
Do you need help
figuring out how to do
that?
We have a good
doc from MS.
Go to
Guides>Howto>Microsoft>20
00 for a configuration
document.

Router Question
----------
Thanks for the info. I
think I found the doc you
refer this morning. From
my reading, for a NT
server, I will need to
install the PPTP protocol
and also add a second
NIC. For W2K server, I
can avoid the second NIC.
Does this sound correct?
I ordered W2K Server from
Ingram Micro (they claim
its one last ones to be
sold so they say)
Also, my office
router has ports 135-139
blocked. Do you think I
will need to open these
up? My desired goal is
to have MS networking
shared
drives.
Thanks a
million.

Win2k vpn
----------
Santronics,
Try and
setup the VPN without
opening those ports, it
isn't a typical
problem.
Last copy,
right....
Win2k
server is not a low
supply product. Keep us
updated on how the
install
goes.
cheers,
P

One last question
----------
Thank Phildom. One last
question (more like a
confirmation) if you
don't mind. The more I
read, the more options I
seem to have With NT
4.0 Server, I see I can
install PPTP protocol.
But to do this, I will
need a second NIC
ethernet adapter on the
machine. Is this true?
Can I use NT 4.0 Server
w/ PPTP without a 2nd
NIC? Or do you recommend
I continue with the W2K
server
installation?
Than

Win2k VPN solution
----------
Santronics,
From what
I've seen, I'd stick with
the Win2k VPN solution
over the WinNT VPN. The
Win2k has built in VPN
functionality and it was
built to support VPN with
IPsec unlike the WinNT
VPN which doesn't support
IPsec. Also, the Win2k
VPN is much easier to
configure and the Win2k
VPN has more
documentation for
configuring and for VPN
troubleshooting. |
