Sorry about the lack
of info in the last transmission. I was rushed to go to a meeting and did not
mean to send the email out. No VPN Client is used.
I know that the
machines that are having problems are Win2000 machines. However, it is not
every Win2000 machine, which throws me off. Most machines are just fine. It is
just about 4 users that is having the problem. XP seems not to have the problem. Some
of the Win2000 machines also have SQL2000 on them also.
It seems when the
user go through the firewall to get to the internet and then tries to go a
mapped drive then the connection is lost. However not every time. It is like the firewall is confused on
if the machine is truly inside the firewall or
outside.
I would also be
interested in the Microsoft Article, if you could provide further details that
would be great.
If I still have not
included enough detail, please let me know.

If the
server is win2k or SQL you are right it is NAT(Microsoft has admitted this to
be a problem). from what you described if client and server are communicating
through the firewall. you want to add a rule in your address translation
tab:
client-network
server-network any original original

Subject: [FW-1] Nat.. I

Hello
all,
I am the new network admin here,
and for about a year they have been living with a problem and now, all of a
sudden it is a big issue.
The issue is: A user could being doing their
normal task throughout the day and their mapped drives will loose
connection. The user clicks the
drive and you get the standard " can not find "server" error. To fix this, I
had the user just change their ip address and everything is fine. That is why I think it is
configuration problem with NAT. The question now is.... What is the problem?
Any and all suggestions are
appreciated.
Thank
you,
Larry
Rogers
