I need some help please...
Let me preface my statments by saying that i am a total newbie...but that Astaro's GUI and easy setup has made my life alot easier!!
Okay first...basic setup question. I am using a cable modem with a dsl/cable modem router. Its a cheap one....SMC Barricade. I have tried putting the astaro server into the DMZ, i have also tried forwarding ports 1723 to the servers ip etc...either way when i try and establish a remote conenction it just times out.
HOWEVER if i try to establish the same connection WITHIN my lan...ahh its magical and everything works. Thus I think that the router is not forwarding the packets correctly or somehting along those lines. (not sure abut this)
This now leads me to my second question. I was thinking that perhaps my setup is also wrong. Right now i have a 4 port Router with a built in switch. THe cable modem plugs into the WAN side of the router and the astaro box plugs into one of the ports on the router itseld for tne internal lan. Then there are 2 others boxs that also connect directly to the ports on the router's lan side.
I do have 2 nic cards in the astaro box...buy i am not sure what to do with the second one? Can the astaro box act as a router as well itself? Argh...i need assistance!
As you can tell I am real confused....but would like to learn how to do this properly....if anyone could be kind enough to assist me I would really appreciate it.
