Re: router with NT

[Dominique THIRY]

The NT workstation's inside nic has no legal address(192.168.x.x), and its ISDN card has a dynamic address (changed at each dialing to the provider).It's just a PC dialing to the provider to receive a temporary legal address. The firewall behind that box is a Raptor V6, and does NAT automatically.But uses its non legal external address(192.168.x.x) to do NAT. -----Original Message----- From: Baribault, Gary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'Dominique THIRY' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, October 13, 1999 7:41 PM Subject: RE: router with NT Is the firewall doing nat?? does the inside nic have a legal address?   If your firewall doing nat, why not put the ISDN in the firewall as a NIC? Does the ISDN have a static address? What firewall software? If your NT is just routing then it adds no value and unless very well set up is vulnerable.   Gary Baribault MCSE, MCT -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dominique THIRY Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 1999 10:36 AM To: FIREWALLS Subject: router with NT Maybe a simple question: I have a NT box running NT4.0 workstation. IP forwarding is enabled on it. I have installed an NIC and an ISDN card (to connect to my Internet provider). Is it possible to use that NT box as a router between my firewall and the Internet ? May need additionnal software ?   Thanks, Dominique THIRY Systemat Luxembourg
