Need a little help articulating
Hi folks,
I have a group of folks I'm working with that have a small private LAN(about 40 or so IPs). They have a NAT firewall but recently they found that they needed to provide external access to one of the machines for remote maintenance. Not being networking types, the way they accomplished this was to bypass the router/firewall and connect the machine directly from another bridged router to an existing and already in use hub on the LAN!
I've been trying to explain to them what a tremendously bad idea this is but I'm not really getting through to them because they don't understand the language and ramifications.
The guilty parties are primarily financial folks and I need to be able explain this in plain language they can understand. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!
