Sounds like you have WAN management enabled on the RV0. You need to turn that off or change the port it uses. I forget exactly where in the config pages the settings are, and don't have a unit in front of me to double check. Just look though the interface to find a setting that "Allow WAN Management ...

switch(config)# ip http server enables web server
switch(config)# ip http secure-server enables secure web server

A basic web management interface is included in IOS, but disabled by default. Enable that and see if it meets your needs.

What type of internet service do you have? Does the PC have two network connections setup to do ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)? You will need to have some external device supplied by an ISP that is your gateway.

ErikD

Can you supply some more details?

What "devices" are we talking about (workstations, servers, routers, printers, etc.)?
When you say a default gateway "like" do you mean that was the default gateway that worked and it is no longer there?
What device was being used as the default gateway (modem ...

Did you read the previous post by me? I said that I know I could use that, but I wanted to learn how to do it by using VPN. Now I remember why I never use these forums. its because there are some people who come on here with the worst attitudes. I dont need your help. I can find it myself.

Worst ...

Did you read the previous post by YOSC and answer any of those questions? Using LogMeIn or GoToMyPC would be an easy and cheap method for a single user.

What is in the office? What router, servers, OS, etc? You need to give a lot more information because setting up remote connectivity between ...

VLANs are also used to minimize traffic in larger networks, but have routing between them setup so all computers can access everything. This also makes it easier to troubleshoot problems when you have a network with hundreds or thousands of devices in it.

ErikD

Well, one thing is to make sure web services is intalled (IIS), and you'll probably need to do some port forwarding as well. If everyone's sharing your primary IP, you'll need to separate on which port each site directs to.

IIS and DNS have nothing to do with each other, and I would guess that if ...

Did you configure a static route on the Linksys to the other subnet?

ErikD

If all you want to do is have both PCs connected to the internet then make sure you have a router. Connect each PC to the router, and you are done, no need for a second NIC in either of them.

Using one PC with two NICs and ICS works, but isn't anywhere near an optimal configuration if you ask me ...

ErikD

Why do you want to have two NICs? If this is to be connected into the same network you will need some software (driver) to make it work properly.

Bridging is to connect two different network types (firewire and ethernet).

ErikD

You should have the modem connected to the "Internet" port of the router, and the first PC connected to one of the numbered ports of the router.

Then navigate to the configuration web page for the router. Look in the instruction manual for detail here. Then go to the Wireless settings area and make ...

The 25 connection limit on your SW has nothing to do with DHCP, and is just a licensing issue. Cisco does the same thing with its SOHO model firewalls (PIX 501, ASA 5505) when you buy them. You get a license to have x concurrent users accessing through the device. This is not handled by DHCP at all ...

ErikD

Did you read the instructions for whatever model of routers you will be using? They are usually pretty helpful in explaining what to put in the boxes.

General:

Local subnet = subnet that router is on
Remote subnet = subnet the other network uses (these MUST be different)
Remote gateway = WAN IP of ...

ErikD

Yes, it would seem you have some sort of basic routing setup between the sites. I would say get the actual config of both routers on paper so you can check yourself. It is very possible that the config they put in blocks cross network traffic not destined for the internet (or port 80).

One more ...

ErikD

The 2600 series is at End of Life with Cisco, but if they are supplied and supported by the ISP I guess it doesn't matter much.

Passing traffic means very little. If there is something configured wrong on the router it might allow icmp, but deny other types of traffic. To me it sounds like you are ...

ErikD

When I hear about any equipment leased/rented from an ISP they are usually my first call. Without any access to the configuration of those devices there is no way to be certain that there is no ACL or other configuration that blocks the traffic you want. It seems basic routing is setup properly as ...

ErikD

Can you browse the network on the other side of the T1? For example can the branch office users get to files on the shared folders?

How does the PTP connect to the main site? Is there a firewall involved at all?

ErikD

What subnet masks are you using to get those scopes? Usually those would be multiple subnets, and thus should cover multiple different scopes.

Also, no servers in the branch office? All DHCP, DNS, etc is being handled from the HQ?

ErikD

For inbound or outbound traffic?

One easy way would be to do a scan of the external IP from anywhere using something like Neusses. Shields Up will do the same thing from any PC at the site.

ErikD

You can post if you like. I for one will not do your homework for you. I have been through school, and worked hard to do my assignments. Posting the requirements and your proposed solution for review is a different matter. If you post how you would answer the question you are much more likely to get ...

ErikD

Your hard drive is the most likely suspect. The network can only move data as fast as it can be read from a drive and written to the destination.

Besides you are getting very close to the limits, so everything would seem to be working right anyway.

ErikD

Actually I think you are mistaken. The agent is needed to make a backup OF the server/computer it is installed on. Since you want to backup to that server it shouldn't be necessary. Just map as a network drive, and do a backup as a D2D backup to that drive.

Besides which as I understand Snap ...

ErikD

Try browsing by IP address instead of hostname.

ErikD

Have you tried an ipconfig /release followed by /renew to make sure they have an active IP address lease?

ErikD

Yep, there is no reason the Sonicwall NEEDS to handle DHCP. My guess is whoever you were talking to gave it out as a quick and simple answer to avoid a lot of troubleshooting and problem solving across multiple platforms.

Anyway you do need to have your Server 2003 (no such thing as XP Server BTW ...

ErikD

If you didn't setup a username then you are using the default one. Try setting up a user on both machines with the exact same name, and use that. Sounds like you are just having problems with permissions.

ErikD

You shouldn't need LLTP.

Is simple file sharing setup on the XP machine? Do you have an account that has the same exact username and password setup on both machines?

ErikD

Not only do you not need a VPN a VPN will never work to connect two computers on the same network. One of the requirements for VPN is that both computers belong to networks which use different IP ranges. So just drop the whole VPN thing, it is just never going to work and is making things way more ...

ErikD

Most newer technology (switches, routers, etc.), especially consumer grade stuff, does do auto MDX. That doesn't mean it always works properly.

You could also have a bad cable, so try a known working cable to at least rule out the possibility. Could also be the cable wasn't run to spec and some ...

ErikD

First off I think the way you are asking for help might be deemed sort of offensive. Making a point of asking for only professional help is an insult, everyone here is trying to help other users out of kindness. If you want only professional help pay a professional to come and help you.

Secondly ...

It is difficult to say how much area of a house a wireless device can cover. There are to many variables, how many floors, walls, construction materials, etc. Since you already have CAT5 in most places I would say place the router you have. If you have any dead areas you can always add in an AP ...

ErikD

Keep in mind that you are doing a transfer to/from the internet, and that will be the bottleneck, not your LAN speed. Wireless should work fine, maybe your router needs some tweaking to get it running better. Make sure you have the latest firmware, and some sort of security setup on it.

ErikD

Why not switch providers then? Circumventing any access restriction like that could be considered illegal, and at the very least a violation of the TOS.

ErikD

What is your whole network setup? Why two other routers?

The more you let us know what is going on, and what you want to get done the easier it will be. Draw out a simple network diagram showing what connects to what. As far as needing PPPoE that would depend entirely on your ISP, some require it ...

ErikD

The easiest, most effective thing is to buy a cheap router to share the connection. Basic models can start under $100 for entry level wired routers, and that is all you really need to do a simple internet sharing setup like you seem to want.

The other way, which you seem to be trying to do, uses ...

ErikD

Can you give us ANYTHING more to try to help you?

Who is your ISP?
What does the other end of the cable to connect to?
Do you get an IP address? (Start, Run, ipconfig, copy and paste results)
What OS?

The more you give the easier it will be to get help. Just saying "my internet doesn't work, what ...

ErikD

In my opinion..yes 7,200rpm SATA drives have no place on primary servers that will have a heavier load..especially SBS. If you can get 10,000rpm SATA drives...the ones based on the WD Raptors which are enterprise grade drives anyways..they're not bad. But based on the handful of SATA servers I've ...

ErikD

What do you know about configuring Cisco devices? This is an enterprise class router, it is NOT just plug and play. You need to configure it from the ground up, out of the box it will have no configuration at all.

If you connect a PC directly to the modem do you get a DHCP assigned IP? If so is it ...
