From: Dennis on
Using a Actiontec PK5000 Modem/Router I have tried various configs,and just
don't get it . Using the pk5000 to authenticate PPPoE, and using a block os
static ips, which in the Pk5000 only let you set the gateway ip,subm,dns .
I have disabled DHCP & NAT . From there to a Linksys VPN Router i have
installed 1 of our static ips with subm,DNS Settings from the isp. from the
router Lan 192.168.3.1 to the Nic1 of the server 192.168.3.2 . Nic2 on SBS is
192.168.16.2 to the Network Switch. Server is DC,DHCP,DNS.
The problem I seem to have is that I cannot ping the Static IP on set in the
router , which kills my remote Access etc.. Also am I to port forward to
Nic1, Or Nic2 .
I would think Nic1.
Any help would be aprecciated .

You forward the PORT to NIC1 of the SBS
192.168.3.2
PORTS
25
443
444
1723
4125
and 3389 assuming strong passwords.
Also run the CEICW and allow all services except for www Business Website.

To make things Simpler You could switch to a 1 NIC configuration.
(However instead of confusing you let's keep the same for now.)

However, other than a PING
What exactly is not working at this time?
(After you do the above)

Run scan with the SBS 2003 BPA and fix any problems it finds...

Please post the results of an ipconfig /all for both the SBS server and
a workstation.

Is the PK5000 just forwarding all traffic through it to the Linksys router?
This would probably be the preferred mode. If this is owned/controlled by
the ISP, they may need to help you configure it in "bridge" mode rather than
"router" mode (this may already be configured if using "un-numbered"| mode,
from what I could find on the web). Once it passes all traffic to the
Linksys router, you can forwards all required ports (4125, 443, 25, 1723,
etc.) to the SBS NIC2. Then re-run CEICW to set up the SBS server to handle
DHCP, to select your services (RWW, OWA, email, etc.) and to create your
self-signed certificate.

The wireless capabilities of the PK5000 will not be used for LAN computers
(only for "guests who need Internet access") since you have a firewall
(Linksys) between your SBS LAN and your PK5000.

Also, I seen some comments that say that the PK5000 can be problematic and
if hyou can get another kind of DSL modem (just a straight modem and not a
modem-router), you might have fewer problems.

If the PK5000 is set up to do NAT, then it has a WAN and LAN. You would
assign one of the static IPs from your ISP to the WAN side, then forward
ports to the LAN side (maybe 192.168.1.1). Then assign an IP in the
192.168.1.x range to the WAN side of the Linksys router and 192.168.3.1 to
the LAN side. Then re-run CEICW. This would set up 2 NAT networks (your
PK5000 and your SBS) which is OK but redundant, while not necessarily giving
you more protection.
