Network Passthrough (bridging or sharing?) with extra NIC on server - what option?

I have a server that has 4 NIC's, one to the main router, and two to a NAS and an empty NIC.  I have anothe PC right next to the server and I would like to connect that PC to the main network even though there is only one cable run to the server (it
is a long difficult run back to the router).  Is there an option within Server 2008 that allows this extra NIC to act as a switch or (is bridge the correct terminology) to the NIC that connects to the router?  I didn't think ICS would be correct
as I need access to the rest of the network like RDP to other machines and didn't know if ICS passed those things through to the rest of the network.  The nearby PC needs to be on the same network and subnet as the server. 
If it is possible to have this extra NIC connect to the NIC that is connected to the router, would it be possible to put a switch on the cable coming out of the extra NIC in the server to serve more PC's in the future?  Is there any software that would
need to be installed for Server to handle this? 
Thanks to anyone who can help in this area. 

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Normally with all Sharing set to OFF, they can't see anything.
Might look into these, as you can set them to log any attempts...
Then the venerable old Brickhoues/Flying Buttress Firewall...

Anything in particular that makes you suspect your security has been compromised?
Is this correct? Or are other directories visible too?
Unfortunately, if you do enable Windows Sharing, some Mac or OSes let them see everything... but there are ways around that...

  • Collage Students need help with Java project(Email Server) whats analysis?

    Hi im studying in collage at the moment and i have just started learning java this semester, the thing is my teacher just told us to do an project in java , since we just started the course and i dont have any prior knowledge about java i was wondering if some one could help me with the project.
    i choose Email Sevice as my project and we have to submit an analysis and design document , but how the hell am i suppose to know what analysis is ? i just know we use ER diagrams & DFD's in the design phase but i dont know what analysis means ?
    could some one tell me what analysis on an email service might be? and what analysis on a subject means? is it the codeing involved or some thing coz the teacher told us not to do any codeing yet so im completly stumped,
    oh and btw we are a group of 3 students who are asking u the help here coz all of us in our class are stupmed ?

    IN case any one is interested this is the analysis i wrote
    ANALYSIS
    Analysis means figuring out what the problem is, maybe what kinds of solutions might be appropriate
    1.     Introduction:-
    The very definition of analysis is an investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relations in making up the whole. The Analysis done here is for an emailing service called Flashmail, the emailing service is used to send out mails to users registered with our service, these users and there log activities will be stored in some where, the most desirable option at this time is a Database, but this can change as the scope of the project changes.
    2.     Customer Analysis:-
    We are targeting only 30 registered users at the moment but this is subject to change as the scale changes of the project .Each user is going to be entitled to 1MB of storage space at this time since we lack the desired infrastructure to maintain anything higher than 1MB but the end vision of the project is to sustain 1000 MB of storage space while maintaining a optimal bandwidth allocation to each user so as to ensure a high speed of activity and enjoyment for the Customer.
    The Service will empower the user to be able to send, read, reply, and forward emails to there specified locations. Since we are working on a limited budget we can�t not at this time enable the sending of attachments to emails, but that path is also left open by modularity of java language, so we can add that feature when necessary.
    3.     Processor Load Analysis:-
    The number of messages per unit time processing power will be determined on hand with various algorithms, since it is best not to waste processor power with liberally distributing messages per unit time. Hence the number of messages will vary with in proportion to the number of registered users online at any given time.
    4.     Database Decision Analysis:-
    The High level Requirements of the service will have to be decided upon, the details of which can be done when we are implementing the project itself. An example of high level requirements are database management, we have chosen not to opt for flat files because of a number of reasons, first off a flat files are data files that contain records with no structured relationships additional knowledge is required to interpret these files such as the file format properties. The disadvantages associated with flat files are that they are not fast, they can only be read from top to bottom, and usually they have to be read all the way through. Though there is are advantages of Flat files they are that it takes up less space than a structured file. However, it requires the application to have knowledge of how the data is organized within the file.
    Good databases have key advantage over flat files concurrency. When you just read stuff from file it�s easy, but tries to synchronize multiple updates or writes into flat file from scripts that run in different process spaces.
    Whereas a flat file is a relatively simple database system in which each database is contained in a single table. In contrast, relational database systems can use multiple tables to store information, and each table can have a different record format.
    5.     Networking Analysis:-
    Virtually every email sent today is sent using two popular protocols known as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions).
    1.     SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
    The SMTP protocol is the standard used by mail servers for sending and receiving email. In order to send email we will first establish a network connection to our SMTP server. Once you have finished sending your email message it is necessary that you disconnect from the SMTP server
    2.     MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
    The MIME protocol is the standard used when composing email messages.

  • HT201210 can't connect with ipod software update server, what should i do?

    i tried to update my ipod but whenever i try i get the message [the ipod "    " cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable] my ipod is stuck in recovery mode, what to do?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

  • ICal made google calendars "shared" with themselves

    Somehow two (of my three) google calendars which all used to show up under my g-mail account in ical recently were changed to being labeled as "shared."  However, these calendars are not shared with anyone.  When I look at them on my iPhone, they are labeled as shared with themselves.  For example, the calendar labeled "School" says it is "Shared with School."  Any idea what I did wrong or how to change this back?

    I'm having this same issue - it's very frustrating.
    Did you ever figure it out?

  • Very slow network performance with Intel NIC when TCP Large Send Offload is enabled

    I have a Windows 2008 server with two NIC's (Intel PRO/1000 PL and Intel PRO/1000 PM), and one virtual external switch connected to each NIC.
    With the 01/14/08 network driver, I get very low throughput on both NIC's (~10KB/sec when downloading from my server when it should be around 11MB/sec).
    I've found that disabling "TCP Large Send Offload (IPv4)" on the virtual switch and "Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4)" on the physical adapters solves the problem.
    Is this a bug in the driver?
    Thank you,
    Ricardo Costa

    2 years later, I was able to get that machine to work with Hyper-V under Windows Server 2008 R2, but only after disabling everything that had anything to do with TCP or IP offloading.  I think that I had to turn off 4 settings on one controller,
    and 5 settings on the other controller.  Once that was done, everything worked flawlessly.  It is very apparent that the Virtual Controllers do not properly use many of the features of non-Intel devices (not all Intel devices work either), and
    that Hyper-V does not completely uninstall if you remove it.
    If you have any problems, start turning off the features that your adapter supports, until it starts working.  You'll need to weight the cost of replacing the controller with a fully supported controller, of which there is no list, or using your existing
    controller at a capacity lower than it physically supports.  This has been an elusive issue with Microsoft's Virtual Server projects since they were first in beta, so don't expect a fix anytime soon.
    P.S. For those who don't know, the settings are on the actual device and can be changed in the Device Manager.  If you are still having trouble after turning off all the settings, then you will need to replace the controller(s) with a different
    make/model.

  • CS 5 Bridge Downloader crashes with network drive

    For the first time with CS5 I have tried "getting photos" from my camera. If I specify the destination on my local drive there is no problem. If, I specify a mapped network drive the downloader stalls, and eventually I have to kill the program in task manager.
    I didn't have this problem with CS4. Has anyone tried using this workflow with a network drive with success?
    Any ideas what the problem might be?
    There is plenty of free space on the network drive.
    Thanks.

    Adobe always answers that they can't guarantee anything working with networked drives because they can't know every network configuration out there.
    Hence, always save to a local drive initially.

  • Windows sharing with two network cards

    Hello,
    I am running OSX 10.4.11 and enables Windows file service.
    I have two network cards. one is public (due to the web server) and one is private (192.x.x.x).
    Is there a way to make only the 192.x.x.x accessible via the Windows file services? I don't want anyone that is a local user to be able to get to any of the shared folders via the public address. Like if they were at home or something.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Hello Jay,
    Your question does make sense!
    And in fact Samba (the software that delivers the Windows file service on a Mac) has configuration options to do just what you want. That's the good news. The bad news is that I don't know a way to set those configuration options from the GUI. If you are confident to use a terminal and edit configuration files by hand then you should be able to establish the Windows file service running on just one interface.
    First you need to find out the real name of the interface on which the Windows file service should run. One way is to look under Apple\About this Mac\Network or in a terminal enter:
    ifconfig
    My Mac Mini has en0 (wired) and en1 (airport) as network interfaces. Suppose en1 is the interface on which file sharing is wanted (you should replace en1 in my example by the name of your network interface!)
    Next edit the file /etc/smb.conf in a terminal by:
    sudo nano /etc/smb.conf
    In the [global] section add the following lines:
    interfaces = en1
    bind interfaces only = true
    Save your edits by pressing Ctrl-O and exit the editor by pressing Ctrl-X
    After restarting you can check if it works as expected.
    Good luck,

  • In finder, it says that I am shared to a pc which I didn't know about nor do i know the pc, how do I stop sharing with it?

    In finder, it says that I am shared to a pc which I didn't know about nor do i know the pc, how do I stop sharing with it?

    I gather that you are seeing other "pee-seas" (and | other hosts) in MAC OSX Finder UI under SHARED ? T/F ??  The Finder is reflecting what others are sharing.
    In any case consider these items:
    1) Other hosts on your network (local) have ITEMS (folders and structures) that they themselves are sharing
    with anyone on there network and to others outside who will access them via a specic host nae or address. KInda like your mate who has some files he wants to share with you. You connect to his host (machine) either by a host name (yourmate.com), an IP address (33.33.33.11) or on your local area network usually over Bonjour (yourmates_macbookair.local).
    Simply THEY ARE sharing their stuff with you and this your MACs FINDER makes then apear under the SHARED parion of the side bar in the UI. This is likely what you are seeing
    microsoft platforms have their users share DIRECTORIES mainly through the SHARING properties for that opject. YEp.. and then you can at a minimum SEE it . HOwever this doesnt mean you can access the contents.... This is all familiar to most.. nothing to be concerned about.
    Probably no need for concern.....
    (IMO), its amazing the number of PC users that unknowingly expose their folder contents on a hotel WIFI or ETHERNET network... its astonishing....!
    2) YOUR CONCERN that you are sharing your stuff:
    I'll hazard a guess that form you minmal description that you may feel that others on your network can SEE YOUR STUFF?? Bt Default, any user can see ANYTHING you have put in your ~/Public folder (theis is your Public folder in your home directory. Usually they can ONLY read whats there unless you have gone out of your way to change the ACCESS CONTROL LIST (ACL) to an access for others other than READ ONLY.
    An extention so to speak of this sharing is the concept of a "DROP BOX" that is also maintained by default in your homes public folder (~/Public/Drop Box). This is very useful for people to GIVE you their files by DROPPING then into this ~/Public/Drop Box folder.
    So THIS folder is exposed for all to see on your local network.
    How to stop anyone seeing anything?.. easy..
    Step 1: go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES/Sharing/ and UNTICK the  "File Sharing" service. Its probably already unticked. This will stop exposing anything that you have shared to others. pee-sea users may need your to enable SMB/CIFS TO READ YOUR STUFF. YOU WONT HAVE THIS ENABLED UNLESS YOU DID IT YOURSELF. Additionally there are windows .apps to read mac file systems too... so stopping all fie sharing will do the trick
    Step 1.1: if you dont want others to see your ~/Public folder either then simply select the Public folder in your finder, open the Finder inspector (+i), open the disclosure triangle for "sharing and permissions" and then set the access by others to "NO ACCESS"
    Step 2: while you are in SYSTEM PREFERENCES/Sharing/ and UNTICK the  "Remote Login" and "Screen Sharing" services. Its very likely already unticked. This will stop exposing remote services such as ssh and vnc anything that you have shared to others.
    Step 3: for extra go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES/Security/Firewall and enable any setting for network here that you want to disable or filter... seek out these apple discussion forums.. tonnes of stuff here on his.
    Others reading this thread will also have good advice and opinions.
    Post your results for others to see.

  • Make a router out of a simple notebook with one NIC (buy a second NIC)

    Hello all,
    Before starting, I think I must say hello to you because I'm new here : this is my first post . So, in fact, I'm working with Linux since 5 years. I'm running Gentoo on my workstation and my old server, Ubuntu on my notebook and for family, and finaly, I'm running Red Hat at work place for workstation and servers. I'm a Linux and JBoss administrator .
    I've decided to run/try Arch because it seams to growth with rock-solid ideas and it's a binary distribution. I now prefer a binary distribution for my server, because it's taking too much time to let old computer or notebook compile the whole world (alone or not ...). I prefer now looking around and learn another Linux distribution. This is why I started to install my first Arch Linux : I will try to run a server on a simple notebook. In fact, it's a working machine, but without any graphics capabilities (memory has burned...), and so, perfect for a little server low consumption. I want it to replace my current server/router running Gentoo on an old Pentium 3.
    For now, I've encountered these little problem :
    - LID problem when screen is close : reboot never work (power off just after the BIOS, when the LID state is "screen closed"...) => disable LID connection (unplugged from motherboard)
    - ssh problem => must now use "/etc/hosts.allow" to let remote machine to be connected
    - try routing packet with one NIC => for now, doesn't work ...
    - try to get X11 Forwarding => doesn't work too, but it will works quickly
    My infrastructure is just a server/router splitting in two part for the LAN at home :
    - one part is LAN with all workstations
    - the other part is LAN_router which is another network with only the ADSL router to access internet
    So, its looking like this : <machine1> => <switch> => <[eth1]server/router[eth0]> => <switch> => <router_ADSL> => INTERNET
    All is fine ... with the old machine ... for the new one, it has only one network interface ... The question is : how to do routing with only one NIC ???
    In theory, I "should" work ... but .. some component can have some little hard time to do the right things .. and for me, is not working right now.
    The first try is to use one interface with one IP aliasing, like this :
    2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:1d:e4:a3:d5:1a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.2.1.8/26 brd 10.2.1.63 scope global eth0
    inet 10.2.1.66/26 brd 10.2.1.127 scope global eth0:0
    inet6 fc80::21a:e2ff:fea3:d56a/64 scope link
    valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    Two sub network are used :
    - 10.2.1.0/26
    - 10.2.1.64/26
    I must have 2 ip on one NIC, so aliasing can be used (when testing, the new server/router is able to ping a workstation and the ADSL router ; it can also use internet). I've heart there is some problem with "iptables" to set forwarding rules when using IP Aliasing ... but I prefer try myself . It doesn't work for now, probably because of this. But, is there a way to use a "workaround" ? For example, if "iptables" is not able to play with aliasing, and so, interface such as "eth0:0", may be there is a way to tell it, like this :
    [root@serveurn ~]# iptables-save
    # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.10 on Sun Dec 12 17:30:01 2010
    *nat
    :PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
    :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
    :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
    :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
    -A POSTROUTING ! -d 10.2.1.0/26 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 10.2.1.66
    COMMIT
    # Completed on Sun Dec 12 17:30:01 2010
    # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.10 on Sun Dec 12 17:30:01 2010
    *filter
    :INPUT DROP [0:0]
    :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
    :OUTPUT ACCEPT [9:932]
    -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
    -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
    -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
    -A INPUT -s 10.2.1.0/26 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
    -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
    COMMIT
    # Completed on Sun Dec 12 17:30:01 2010
    ... use the interface "eth0" (for the whole throughput) and do SNAT for all excepted for the LAN network ? But it seams to not work ...
    I got a second idea : if it wan't work with aliasing ... may be can I use virtual interface and bridge ... create a bridge with "eth0" and "tap0" so I can add more than one ip in the machine .. and may be, will be able to route packet from these two interface ???
    But for now, I have to understand why X11 Forwarding don't work ...
    EDIT: xorg problem solved : xorg-auth was requested ...

  • Redundancy with dual nic servers

    Hi I have 2 11500's configured with box-to-box redundancy. I have a number of app servers each with dual nic's (which are Teamed) and which are connected directly to the CSS's. Nic 1 in each goes to the master CSS1 and is therefore live. Nic2 goes to standby CSS2.The CSS's are connected two 4500 switches to the public.I am monitoring the links to the 4500's,if i switch off the master CCS1,we fail over and the servers all connect via nic2 to the new master CCS2. But when the link to the 4500 from the CSS1 Master goes down the CSS'S failover but the nic2's do not connect to the CCS2 because Nic 1 in each server has not failed ie they still see CSS1 as up. Is there a workaround to this problem ?
    Thanks
    J

    I know of no way to link CSS interfaces so that if the uplink goes down, the the other ports are shutdown. There may be another way to configure the adapter teaming or failover on the server side. I know some OS's send out test frames from one adapter to the other to verify network integrity.
    What I'd recommend is that you setup a VLAN on your 4500's for the server's physical connections, and uplink that to a "backend" interface on the CSS. This can be done with the CSS in either a router or bridge configuration, but I'd recommend router mode.

  • How to enable resource sharing with complex AEBS setup

    I have a complex AEBS + Netgear network configuration that I am trying to enable resource sharing on. The Netgear router is necessary because it provides excellent per-user parental controls and content filtering that the AEBS lacks. The setup is operational (network connectivity works as expected), but I cannot figure out how to enable cross-network resource visibility and sharing.
    Here is the network configuration:
    |Vz Fios PPoEE |
    |
    v
    |___
    |AEBS|
    | __Mac Mini (wireless)
    | __AppleTV (wireless)
    | __Wii (wireless)
    | __MBPC2Duo (wireless)
    | __WinXp PC1 (wired)
    |
    v
    |______
    |Netgear|
    | __WinXP PC2/Printer (wired)
    | __WinXp PC3 (wired)
    | __iBook (wireless)
    | __Vista Laptop1 (wireless)
    | __Vista Laptop2 (wireless)
    The Mini, AppleTV, Wii and MBPC2Duo all connect wirelessly with the AEBS. The Netgear router is wired to the AEBS. This in turn has 2 wired clients and three wireless clients as illustrated.
    The Netgear router receives an IP address assignment from the AEBS (in the 10.0.1.x range) via DHCP and in turn assigns IP addresses (in the 192.168.1.x range) to attached clients via DHCP
    The setup is operational and operates flawlessly --network-wise. However, I now need to enable resource sharing as follows:
    1) Setup the Mini as the media hub, configured to allow:
    a. storage of all iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and garage band content to an attached external hard drive,
    b. sharing of content on the Mini with iTunes on each computer (Macs and Pcs) and the AppleTV
    2) Share the printer attached to Windows XP PC2 with all computers (Macs and PCs)
    Questions:
    1. Is this possible with this network configuration?
    2. If so, how would I configure the relevant elements?
    3. Is it better to attach the external media storage to the AEBS vs attaching it to the Mini?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Tesserax. After some digging I was able to find bridge mode config instructions for the Netgear router.
    Follow-up question:
    Given my desire to centralize media access via the Mac Mini, what is the best way to set up my media storage device (320G HD)?
    I see the following options:
    A. NAS device via USB 2.0 connection to the AEBS, or
    B. Supplemental hard drive on the Mac Mini via USB 2.0 or Firewire.
    Thoughts/suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Network Service Order Causing Conflict with Private DNS on Local Network

    I'm currently working on deploying a Snow Leopard Server-based setup for a university student-run television station, using a Mac mini Server. Because our university's own networking infrastructure is somewhat wonky and restrictive, I have recently networked our station's six other computers and the Mac mini Server together through wired Ethernet, using an AirPort Base Station as a router along with some D-Link Ethernet switches.
    As a result, our computers are networked together on their own network completely independently from our university's network, but because this wired network has no internet access, all of our computers connect to our university's wi-fi network over AirPort for internet access.
    I've set up Snow Leopard Server with a private DNS name "atvserver.private" and am intending to use this server internally for file sharing, directory services, and Wiki Server (and possibly Podcast Server). However, because of the service order in Network Preferences, if our client computers are set to give AirPort priority, then they can connect to the internet, but cannot connect to the server's private DNS. On the other hand, if our client computers are set to give Ethernet priority, they can connect to the server, but lose their internet connection.
    The only solutions that I can think of are:
    1) Bridge the university's internet connection on our private wired network (but the university will not allow us to do this because it violates their security policies), or
    2) Come up with some way to bypass the networking service order so that "atvserver.private" goes to the Ethernet network, while everything else goes to the public internet over AirPort.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    What's the ip range an subnet for the university network
    The issue has nothing to do with the IP addresses/subnets in use. It's about DNS resolution.
    Fortunately the solution is simple.
    Configure the DNS server on the SLS with the zone(s) for your private LAN.
    Enable DNS forwarders with the IP addresses of your university's DNS servers.
    Point your clients to your SLS for DNS service.
    Now all DNS requests from these clients will go to your server. For zones this server is responsible for (i.e. your private LAN) the server will reply, for all other lookups it will refer to your university's DNS servers for resolution.
    In this way your clients can resolve your private zones, the university's zones and public DNS hostnames. Problem solved

  • Routing Issue with 2 Nics on Windows Server 2008 R2

    Good Day
    My issue is I needed to set up port forwarding for a web server to communicate with our hotels management server to check availability.
    Initially the server has a single Nic configured in the 172.26.1.0 /24 network  , Its default gateway the Switch vlan interface 172.26.1.1
    We have many vlans for all the systems in the hotel and the server also needs to communicate with 3 other servers on different subnets which it does just fine.
    I now added an additional adsl line with a managed router which has an interface of 192.168.10.1 /24 , My servers second NIC has the IP address 192.168.10.2 with its gateway being the 192.168.10.1
    This 192.168.10.0 network is in a L2 Vlan and the rest of the network does not know it exists. It was working fine then just stopped asfter i added a static route to the server , which i did with RRas... I did this as the server could not communicate with
    just one of the servers..
    If i disable the 172.26.1.0 NIC the port forwarding works but then obviously the rest of the network goes down.. I know its a routing issue but am lost
    please help

    Hello,
    using multiple default gateways is not a good idea.

    I have my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible
