Re: [FW-1] Nat.. I think



Just a quick guess, but the MTU on the windows 2000 systems could be too
high for your network conditions.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
Set\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{interface}\MTU (DWORD Value)

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.

Thank you,
Larry Rogers-----Original Message-----

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 think
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
