ADSL and Windows 2000
|
|
|
| Hi Folks,
At last! We are about to get ADSL in our area in March (wooho)! I have
a 5 PC lab at home, normally configured as a single domain running all the
usual network services, which includes my laptop on which I do all my
non-study stuff. Whilst I like the features of NAT, I would like to buy a
proper ADSL router as I don't leave my Servers on all the time, it being a
home lab and I often access the Internet directly from my laptop via dial-up
just using a cached credential logon.
I learnt how to use NAT with my current dial-up configuration but I will
be looking to study ISA Server later in the year. So my question is will I
need to buy a separate adapter to provide the ISA Server with a public
interface or is there a trick where I can utilise my (as yet unpurchased)
ADSL router. I assume that my ISP will only give me one public IP address
which will end up on the public interface of the router. Could still use my
dial-up with ISA Server but seems a shame. Bye the way, does anyone have any
recommendations for a good ADSL Router that works well with Windows 2000.
Just had a look at Tom's Hardware and the SMC7004ABR comes highly
recommended but I don't know squat about this technology!
TIA,
DJKJ

| Hey dood
After a lot of mucking around I ended up settling for a very simple system.
All of my machines are connected to the Dynalink ADSL Router (sic) through a
switch. Your ISP will usually only allow 1 IP address and in fact many ISPs
have it in their contract that you should only have 1 machine connected to
your ADSL connection (yeah right ... lol).

| Why not just install a second NIC into your Win2k server and use that
as a router ? Then when you get ISA you can install that instead.
I too have a 5 PC home lab and have had it configured this way for 18
months no probs (using ISA for Internet and Exchange for email). I
have today got hold of a hardware firewall so I can play with that
too, though I will probably still retain the ISA configuration for the
caching side of things...

| Thanks for the replies guys! I wanted to avoid using a Windows 2000 box
as the router for no other reason that I don't like the idea of having to
leave it on to provide the laptop, on which I do my non-lab work, Internet
access (I know that's how it's done in the real world but I'm just not
comfortable with it in the home environment). Oh well - if that's what it
takes!

| Actually, in the real world, no network admin worth anything would connect a
server to a raw internet connection. A large network would use an edge
router with a proxy server behind it and perhaps a network caching device
(e.g. network applaince's netcache). A smaller network would still use a
router. Software implementation of routing is lousy and ineffecient compared
to the backplane and streamlined ios of even the least expensive cisco
routers (i.e. 2500 series).

| Point taken Barf but I don't think I'm quite rich enough to implement
double firewall protection for my home lab  I agree that hardware routing
wins every time which is why that is the path I would prefer to go down -
but I still want to learn ISA Server, preferably on the back of some hands
on experience! Maybe a DSL Modem with a RJ45 connection plus a DSL router
without onboard Modem combo may be the answer. Think Cisco's 831 and SOHO
91 facilitates this but no idea of the (rip off Britain) price.

| i use the linksys adsl/cable router w/5 port switch. works really well. Does
NAT, port forwarding, etc for around $50US. Serves my little home network
well. Easy to setup a DMZ with it as well. Have a bunch of stuff at work to
play with and this suits my cheap study habit.

I have a Win2K network that I set up when I started studying for
070-210. I found a router made by Xsense (MIH-130A). It is cool.
The best thing about it is that is has PPPOE service built-in which
lets me avoid the SBC client piece. The client install CD that they
sent me was defective and caused many headaches. I turned on the
PPPOE on the router, and voila! problem solved. It also does NAT,
DHCP, port blocking has a easy DMZ set up and never seems to need any
attention. I'm setting up my Server now for my 070-216 study so I may
bypass the router in favor of playing with my server instead, but I
highly recommend this router.
PS--It works with Mac clients too

| Keep your eyes peeled, though, 'cos the bargains are out there - you
need to snap them up ! I just managed to grab a hardware firewall for
a couple of hundred bucks which allow me to have a multi-layer
approach...
I agree with Barf that hardware is *always* better than software, but
I'm in the same boat as you - home lab !

| Thanks for the input everyone. Linksys seems to have a good rep for
ADSL routers and their BEFSR41 does get a mention on Tom's Hardware. Still
tempted by Cisco's SOHO 91, even though I will probably have to pay through
the nose for it, reason being I'm a student of the Cisco Networking Academy
programme and would hopefully be able to incorporate it into a larger Cisco
Lab in due course with some cheap 1600's off e-bay (As Mr Slicks says -
there are bargains to be had).
But I guess I would still have to swap modem output from the ADSL router
to one of the NICs on my ISA Server to provide it with a public interface
for the purpose of leaning it's functionality - or would I?
Regards,
DJKJ

| That's the linksys model I have. I also have a 2501 cisco router if anyone's
interested (used it for my ccna).
