Hello,
Please I need help on the following scenario;
We have 2 office locations (the head office and the branch office).
In the Head office, we have an ISA 2004 server. A server publishing Rule was configured on the ISA to enable a user in the branch office connect to the accounts software in the head office through Parallel 2X client.
The branch office is a shared block that houses other organisations. Individual organisation is not allowed to have its own ISP but rather shared. A designated IT staff manages a mikrotik router that shares the link to the various org. At each block a linksys router is used behind a switch that connects the computers.
The user in the branch office has been able to connect without hassle by indicating on the 2X client the public IP of the ISA in the head office.
My boss wanted to restrict internet access at the branch office. So we got another ISA 2004 installed on a server 2003.
DHCP is configured on this server and rules for DHCP reply and request set since no domain controller in place. It is a small office with about 7 staff.
Since we do not want to use a public IP, the WAN port of the branch ISA has an IP of same subnet as the one on the linksys router. The GW is the IP add of the linksys itself. The DNS as obtained on the router.
The LAN side is configured appropriately.
The whole setup was tested and the rules to restrict access confirmed working.
The bigger challenge came with creating access rule for 2X client on the branch office ISA.
How do we create a rule when the branch ISA sits with both legs on a private network.
Remember for 2X client to connect, the public IP address of the destination server needs to be inputted.
I cant just get this working.
thanks
