Hello Jonathan, I set up our RAS server (W2K) with one interface in the DMZ and the other to our LAN... you'll probably want to use IPSec or other filtering to "lock down" the ports on the DMZ side. For PPTP you only need ports 47 (ip) and 1723 (tcp) open. It was fairly simple to setup and works well for us.

Our system is an NT domain behind a firewall and with a dmz. I would like to know if there are any comparisons of products/technologies to achieve such tasks as: - connecting to exchange server - connecting to SQL server - mapping drives I am a little confused as to the best way to deploy a solution- use PPTP out of an NT server or use L2TP on W2K? and where to place the server- in the dmz or within the LAN? If I employ NAT does that preclude me from one method? Any resources gratefully received. ___________________________ Jonathan Kimpson i·teba Phone: +44 (0)20-7841 3300 Fax: +44 (0)20-7841 3301 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iteba.com _______________________________ NOTICE - This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom they are addressed.
