Access OR I'd Rather Suck a Dead Toad
and HELP !!!
10/18/2002 06:19 AMWindows 2000 Server Routing and Remote Access OR I'd Rather Suck a
Dead Toad and HELP !!!
Yesterday I wasted an entire day to get close to 0 results. Sigh.
Here's the deal. One of our clients, a non-profit, who specializes in
placing people with disabilities in jobs asked us recently for some
basic networking help. They needed a VPN set up and their internal
network needed to have a "bastion" network server added. A bastion
network server is a single computer with two network cards through
which all Internet traffic passes. It (generally) provides via dhcp
the addresses for a local subnet like 192.168.x.y and is the sole
outside machine that is exposed on the Internet. [ Good Article on
Bastion Networks ]
Right now their ISP has provided them with external IP addresses for
each of their office computers (and server) and they run ZoneAlarm on
each machine to "protect" them. This is one of the more brain dead
ways to run an office lan with Internet access and just plain scares
the crap out of me. DO NOT DO THIS FOR YOUR OFFICE !!! Their IT guy
is one of their staff and NOT a Linux person who does the IT along
with being a full time case worker. I convinced him that this was
unsafe and we should do it with implementing a basic VPN. He had a
licensed copy of Windows 2000 Server and thus began my descent into
the land of "I'd rather suck a dead toad". I do know that some folks
have had really good luck with using Windows 2000 Server for this type
of purpose. I had no luck. None of the options for Windows 2000
Routing and Remote Access worked -- if I got DHCP working then the lan
worked only locally and client machines couldn't see the Internet. If
I setup the VPN options (as per Microsoft's exact directions) then the
server couldn't see the Internet (and stopped responding to external
Pings). Oh and just as a warning to others -- INSTALL SERVICE PACK 3
FIRST. I lost a lot of time since I didn't realize the machine was
missing service pack 3 and apparently none of this stuff works without
SP3. No I can't confirm this with Microsoft's fix list but after
doing an SP3 upgrade then and only then did the NAT options begin
working.
So here's what I'm looking for:
Can a single computer running Windows 2000 Server do this? Serve both
as a bastion host and as an incoming VPN server? Theoretically it is
possible but practically I'm starting to wonder if their setup tools
allow it.
Exact, step by step directions to do this (if they exist). I've done
I can't tell you how many Google queries and there are directions out
there --- but they all are hinted at in the tables of contents of
different books -- not anything like a good Linux How To document.
Alternatives. If Windows 2000 Server isn't a good way to do this then
I can drop a dedicated Linux box on site but I'll end up picking up
the maintenance burden so low maintenance would be good.
One approach I'm considering is a small Linksys hardware firewall
between their outside Internet connection and their internal lan to
provide the DHCP. These boxes, which are generally used for home
networking, are actually quite reliable and since the office only has
a fractional, shared T1, would be fast enough. Since these are only
in the $70 range now, I can just chuck one in for free as a donation
(we're only talking about 5 or 6 machines in the office plus one
server). At a minimum this is safer than Zone Alarm.
Tip #1: The pain started 1st thing when I got their and neither of the
network cards in the bastion host (well the theoretical bastion host)
could ping. Standard IBM etherjet cards that worked perfectly before
going in this box. Know what fixed them? Just moving the graphics
card over one slot and the moving the two network cards over to where
the graphics card was. Go figure. Plug and Play ? Try Plug and Pray
or as I prefer "Plug and sacrifice a goat".
Tip #2: I did expect some problems so I brought along an extra hub
with me which I setup immediately. This let the "bastion" host and
the IT guy's laptop be isolated from the main network preserving
Internet access for everyone else in the office. This way for the 8+
hours that I had to tinker with the beast known as Windows 2000 Server
Routing and Remote Access at least Internet access was preserved.
Note: They're budget strapped and since we've done one big project for
them this fell into the category of free help for good client
relations.

finding an answer to the problem of implementing identity projects
over the irrational fears of non-technical, even technophobic, people.
Most of the replies I'd gotten to the problem stressed the ability of
the technology to protect data ownership as well as data security and
privacy. We're all aware of that, but we still need to convince people
in the enterprise that there is benefit to giving up control of the
flow of data.

Finland exports more than just Nokia phones and this short film details
the production of the most rare of Finnish exports. The large version
[66mb] is worth the download if you have a highspeed connection. Yanks
with a hang-up about naked male bums should likely refrain from
watching this film. It's utterly delightful and narrated in English.

d=2802The Naxi people of China's Yunnan Province use
the only living pictographic language (similar to ancient Egyptian or
Mayan writing) in the world today, and the Library of Congress's
collection of Naxi manuscripts is considered the finest in the world.
One hundred eighty-five documents plus a 392-foot funerary scroll from
that collection are now available online in "Selections from the Naxi
Manuscript Collection," which can be found under the link "Individual
Digital Collections" at http://international.loc.gov/. The Naxi
Kingdom flourished from the eighth century until 1724, when it came
under Chinese rule. Naxi priests created the manuscripts on coarse,
handmade paper, bound them into booklets, and used them while
conducting religious rituals and shamanistic ceremonies. The edges of
the manuscripts were burned during the ceremonies so that the
resulting smoke would transmit the book's message up to the heavens.
Because the sacred books were then either buried with the priests when
they died or were burned on their funeral pyre, relatively few Naxi
manuscripts are known to be in existence. The Library of Congress's
collection of 3,342 Naxi items is the largest outside of China and
this is the first time that such a large number of Naxi manuscripts
have been cataloged, selectively digitized and put on the Web.

snappy. Danese Cooper has a
straight

about the impedence mismatch between how engineers view the world
