WRT110 Public and private network

I originally set up my router on an XP desktop configuring it as a public network. Later I decided to set up a home network with a laptop using Vista. The laptop setup advised me that the setup should be a private network in order to work. The internet works fine, but the computers cannot find each other even though I can see them on the laptop network. Do I need to change the router setup to a private network on the XP desktop? If so, how do I do that? Or is something else going on here?

As you told that you are able to see your computer on your Laptop, but you are not able to access them. Have you enable File Sharing on other computer, Is there any Firewall or Antivirus on your Computer Disable it and try accessing your computer on the Network.

Mixing public and private networks on the same switch

Hello Everyone,
I know this may get some security engineers in frenzy but wanted to know if there is a safe way to mix public and private networks on the same switch.
We have many remote offices that we want to add public wifi and a couple of other services that would be completely outside of our internal network. Each office has a 3750 with plenty of open ports. How can I safely create a vlan for public access on these switches which currently have our internal network on. I have read that people are doing this to save on the cost of purchasing a dedicated switch. Some people are using access lists and one person mentioned creating a private vlan for the public network. I looked up private vlan and it seemed bit confusing.
Is this recommended? If not what would be the safest way to do this?
Thanks Everyone

How "safe" is relative. If your running just one VLAN on a switch, that's would be the safest (basically the same as mixing traffic on the same wire - separation is done else where).
If you multiple VLANs on a switch, then you need to determine how likely someone might figure out a way to breach the VLAN barriers. (This isn't so easy on newer switches.) If the VLAN isolation is breeched, then you need to examine what does that imply from a security perspective (for example can someone now inject or receive other VLAN traffic).
For most purposes, I don't see mixing public and private VLANs, alone, on the same switch as much of a risk. More of a concern is what can be reached on either VLAN and how well it's protected.

Different physical networks for public and private IPs ?

Hi,
My ISP router, public sides and private sides of my servers are all plugged on the same switch. I was wondering if the troubles I experience with my home directories server, hanging all services very often, can come from that config. Does it make sense to usse different switches for public and private IPs ?

It's a good practice to put external and internal traffic on different switches or, at least, on different VLANs on the switch to segregate the traffic.
However, it's unlikely to cause the problems you describe unless there's something wrong with the network (e.g. it's overloaded or experiencing some kind of broadcast storm.
If you have a separate switch it's worth trying. Without knowing the make and model of your switch it's impossible to tell whether VLANs are a viable option for you.

SQL Installation for SharePoint 2013 - Windows Firewall - Profile - domain, Public and Private - Which ones to choose?

Hi there,
I am setting up SQL Server (to be used in our SharePoint 2013 farm).
The Firewall exception for SQL server gives me three choices in Profile section as
Domain, Public and Private profiles
Which ones should I choose please?
Thank you so much.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set the firewall exception for SQL server.
Domain profile—This profile is active when the server is connected to an Active Directory (AD) domain via an internal network. This is the profile that's typically active, because most servers are members of an AD domain.
Private profile—This profile is active when the server is a member of a workgroup. Microsoft recommends more restrictive firewall settings for this profile than for the domain profile.
Public profile—This profile is active when the server is connected to an AD domain via a public network. Microsoft recommends the most restrictive settings for this profile.

If your switch support VLAN tagging, you can use both NIC's for public and private using different VLAN ID's

Viewing document characteristics in Easy DMS public and private folders

We have classified our documents in SAP Document Management System. We are viewing the DIRs in Easy DMS. In the public and private folders, the classification characteristics columns can be added to the screen report, however the values for the characteristics do not appear in the columns. If we use the search function and view those same documents in the search screen, the characteristic values do appear. How can we get these values to appear in the public and private folder views? There does not seem to be an OSS notes which address this discrepancy. In advance, any assistance is most appreciated.

Hi Barry - As Daniel explained, sometimes system behaves if the Default box is not checked but I want you to check the EasyDMS version/patch you are using. Below is the screenshot of latest version/patch.
If you have old verison/patch, please implement the latest version/patch and check.

Hi there,
I am looking for step by step instrcutions on how to configure SFTP Codeplex adapter for both receive and send ports.
Out business partner with whom we push/poll the files from wants us to use SSH encryption/decryption etc.
Just wondering if the following functionality is supported in Codeplex SFTP adatper without having to write any code.
Appreciate if there is manaul to do this for SFTP. BTW I do have all the our public and private keys and business partners Public key for configuring.
For Send port: 1. we would need to encrypt the file with our business partners public key
                      2. sign the file with our private key.
                      3. Send the file through to SSH client which eventually transfers to Remote server.
Receive port:   1. Connect to SSH Server with SSH-2 key and receive the file
                      2. Verify the file's digital signature agaisnt the Business partners PGP public key
                      3. Decrypt the file using our PGP Public key
Thanks in advance

Yes it is supported.
You can find its documentation in this link
You can find section X.509 Certificate Identity Keys
You can set public and private key in property SSH Identity thumbprint of send and receive port
I prefer to test it using client tool like
FileZilla or WinSCP then test it using sftp adapter

Entourage, iCal, Exchange Server, public and private calendar items, PDA

Hello all.
I'm a recent escapee from Windows to MacOS, and I need your help to complete my switchover. I've got a complex calendaring situation I'd like to solve.
I have a new Mac at work and one at home. At work I need to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server public calendar so I can set up appointments with others and they can see my calendar. But, I don't want private appointments to show up to others on the public exchange server calendar. In my calendaring app I do want to see one unified calendar on my machine at work and at home with both public and private appointments.
Also I want to get a PDA that will deal with both public and private appointments, and synchronize appropriately to both work and home calendaring apps. This should also show one unified calendar with all appointments.
Is there a right combo of software and PDA to accomplish this? My investigation so far points to Entourage at work (to work properly with Exchange Server), iCal or Entourage at home, and a PalmOS-based PDA. But I am unclear how the public-private stuff would work.
The final part of this once I figure out the right software and PDA combo, is to import all my calendar stuff, emails and contacts from Microsoft Outlook on my Windows box to my Mac at home. I think Outlook2Mac does this but I'm not sure which calendaring apps it works with.
Please let me know your thoughts. I'm an experienced Windows user brand new to MacOS so please keep that if you answer.
Thanks

How can I create public AND private access with a wireless VPN router?

I am thinking about getting one of the new pre-n wireless routers that has a builtin VPN. I will need to have a private net for my office and a public net for my customers. On the private side- my employees will need to access all network resources and servers etc. On the public side, my customers just need to get to the Internet and maybe print on that side too.
Both sides will be DHCP.
Can I set this up with 1 device ro do I need 2? How can I do this? Any help is greatlu appreciated.
Thanks all.
Message Edited by Gman on 10-14-200607:08 PM

The only safe way to do this is to creat user groups On your server and give specific assess to the users who log into the network.
Using a single router , bifurcating a public from a private network is not possible.You will not be able to use the VPN since the users hav e to be connected to the VPN to log into your network.

Live Migration and private network

Is it a best practice to put up a Private Network beetween the nodes in a pool (reserving a few network cards and switch ports for it), to have a dedicated network for the traffic generated e.g. by live migration and/or ocfs2 heartbeat? I was wondering why such setup is generally recommended in other virtualization solutions, but apparently it's not considered strictly necessary in OVM... Why? Are there any docs regarding this? I couldn't find any.
Thanks!

Hi Roynor,
regarding the physical separation beetween management+hypervisor and the guest VMs, it's now implemented and working...
My next doubt on the list of doubts :-) at this point is:
I could easily set up ONE MORE dedicated bond, create a Bridge with a private IP on it on each server (e.g. 10.xxx.xxx.xxx), and then create a Private VLAN completely insulated from the rest of the world.
I'd be putting the physical switch ports where the Private Bonds/Bridges belong to on the same VLAN ID.
But:
- How can I be sure that this network WILL be actually used by the relevant traffic? If I'm not wrong, when you set up e.g. a physical RAC cluster, at a certain point you are prompted to choose what network to use for the Heartbeat (and it will be marked as PRIVATE), and what network will be used by clients traffic (PUBLIC).
In Oracle VM such setting does not exist... Neither during installation, nor in VM Manager, nowhere.
- Apart from Security, I'm doubting that during heavy VMs migration problems could arise, because if the network gets saturated, there are chances that the OCFS2 heartbeat would be somehow "lost", therefore messing up HA etc. This is at least the reason why in a RAC setup a private network is highly recommended.
- I finally found that doc you mention from IBM (thanks for pointing it out!) but my opinion is that THEIR INTENTION was to separate the traffic at the same way I'd like to, but there is simply NO PROOF that such setup would work... They do not mention where you can specify what traffic you want to be on what network...
This is a very important point... I'm wondering why this lack of information.
Thanks for your feedback, btw

Public and Priviate network from same cable modem - more questions please

A couple of weeks ago I asked about having both a privite network and a public wireless network that would work from one cable modem. The requirement is that the private network not be seen or be "hackable" by users on the public network.
Duane gave us the approach to use and we think we have it right, but because the security of our private net is so important, we want to make sure. We will not do the public network if the security of our private network is in danger.
Here is how things look:
Cable modem --> Router 1 WAN port
Router 1 regular ports --> Private Network -and- Router 2 WAN port
Router 2 regular port --> AirPort Extreme WAN port
We have our public network set up as WPA Personal and we broadcast the network name. The password for this network will be shared wiith users as they enter our public area where they can use their PCs. The default login/password on both routers and the AirPort Extreme have been changed. Connecting via AirPort to the public network I can see Router 2 but not Router 1 or any of my computers, printers, etc. when I browse the network via the Finder.
Do I have it right?
Does this setup give users on the public network any way to get to my private network, computers, and files? Are there any tests/experiments that I could run to further validate this setup?
How secure is it?
Am I asking for problems by offering a public network that shares some of the resources of the private network - modem, MAC address, IP addresses of routers, etc.
From the public net we have attempted to use the IP addresses of the computers on the private network without success.
The best answer I could receive is that there is no way to hack the private from the public. If this is not the answer, how secue am I.
Tim

When you state "Router 1 regular ports(8) feeding Private Network..." do you mean that there is another private router or are the private clients directly connected to router 1?
If you have a private router, the public devices connected to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) could address and reach anything on Router 1 including the private router's WAN side.
The firewall in private router should block any of the public access to clients of private router. So any traffic from private router should be safe as long as the public has no physical access to router 1 nor router 2's WAN port.
If the private clients are directly connected to router 1, then the public clients can directly access any of your private clients. The traffic among private clients and from private clients to Internet would be secure (as long as my previous note about physical access is true).

Webforms, Firewall and Private Network

Hello,
We have following configuration:
Server: Formsserver 6i patch 13 on Sun solaris
Client: WindowsXP with Jinitiator 1.3.x
Connect-Mode: https
Our configuration works with ClientPC which are
not in a private network.
If you have a ClientPC in a prvt network with a private ip-address is a communication with a formsserver possible?
ClientPC (with private ip-address) <> Firewall
<> Internet <> Firewall <> Formsserver
The ports for calling the applet and the
communication between applet and formsserver are
opened.
Jinititaor is configured with the proxy https-port.
We get following errors:
Java Console: SSL handshake failed SSl connection closed graceful
the applet terminates with: FRM-92050
Could it be that the webforms applet sends
the private ip address to the formsserver,
which tries to establish a connection to a
non real ip-address???
Is there a workaround?
thx for any help

You should be able to do this however it may be that it is the web server which needs to be "tweeked".
Can you do something like <machinename>/forms60/f60servlet - this will at least ping the java servlet - if you can't even do this then its probably not Forms which is the problem but the app server set up.

WLC 4400 Not authetnicating between GUEST and Private networks

Hello,
I have a problem. I have a WLC 4400 and the problem i´m encountering is that when a user authetnicates to the private network, and then tryies to autheticate to the Guest network, it just stays there, it doens't do anything. Same way around, if you authenticate tothe Guest network, and change to the private network, it just sits there. I pointing that the problem is with Authentication, but not sure if i´m correct.
Can anyone help me?? what ifnormation will i need to retreive from the WLC to see where the problem lies??
I will get the debug mac addr <client-MAC-address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx> and repeat the issue in order to see if i get anything from the client.
Thanks for the help
Tony

Thanks for the help.
Actually the problem was that the WLC had a wrong time and also we had on our DHCP a 24 hour lease, so we were running low on IP´s.
Change the lease for 8 hours and set the time correctly and the issue got solved.
Thanks.
