Hello
I have installed a win2k8 R2 server, with TMG on it to act as a gatewayserver for my traffic at home. The server is installed on ESXi 5.1 as a virtualized server (mostly because I only have one physical NIC on the server.)
The server itself seems to work fine, in its current state (which is internet provided by my old router, but DNS and DHCP services is run on the TMG server.)
The rules I have applied are basicaly:
* DNS to TMG server from Internal and Perimeter Allow (resolving local requests)
* DNS from TMG server to External Allow (forwarding DNS requests on the internet)
* DHCP Request from Any Network to TMG Allow (only listening on internal NIC)
* DHCP Reply from TMG to Any Network Allow
* Allow any outbound traffic from Internal, Perimeter and Localhost (mostly for testing) to External Allow
The configuration I have now that is working:
Managable switch with 3 Vlans configured
* VLAN 100 - WAN
* VLAN 200 - DMZ
* VLAN 300 - LAN
The TMG has 3 virtual network-cards corresponding with those Vlans, and they are all tagged on the port the ESXi server is hanging in on the switch.
Router connected to the Internet, DHCP and DNS services running on the TMG server. WAN-card attached to the local LAN for DNS lookups on External to work properly (whatever rocks TMGs boat atm). This setup works for now and allows for surfing and access
to my resources depending on port forwarding rules on my router.
This is my problem:
Once I attach the WAN-link to a port that is tagged with VLAN 100, and switch the WAN-card on the TMG to VLAN 100 the internet-access stops working. I get a DHCP address from my ISP, which is correct, but I cannot access any internet-sites, either from the
TMG server nor the Internal network.
I have even tried creating a specific PING rule that allows pings from Internal and Localhost to External networks, but it wont ping anything, not even the router of the WAN-network.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what may be blocking the access here? I can provice schematics of the setup for any who needs or wants to see them
