I would like advice on protecting upwards of 10 clients on a Windows
2003 server where only 2 users require internet access My own home network is well provided for using a 4 port combined NAT switch/router/firewall (I have a Draytek 2600 which has a number of firewall features included).My initial thought would be to connect a similar router to one of the
16 ports on the switch that serves all 10 users and configure it to only allow the 2 users internet access. I would appreciate any comments on this and whether there would be better choice for the router (It would not need to include a switch for instance or act as a DHCP server although the Draytek does provide for a VPN as well) Ideally a similar router to the Draytek that had say 16 ports might be the answer and replace the existing switch with it but these seem to be hard to findFinally am I right in thinking that for a basic network it is a wise to keep the server software as simple as possible and invest in the external router for protection (ie avoiding ISA Server)
Many thanks
Mike
