Anyone know how to port forward through an SBS2003 system (No ISA)? I have: <Internet>---<Router>---[<SBS NIC#1>---<SBS2003>---<SBS NIC#2>]---<Client PC> I've set the router to forward the port and set the client's firewall to accept the connection - but don't know how (or if) I can forward it through the server. I can open the port in the SBS firewall, but that's just going to let the server accept the connection - not forward it... Any suggestions  Thanks |
| That's kind of a curious way to have your network setup. It might be helpful to know why you are passing traffic through a router and then through your SBS2k3 server to the clients. If the router was acting as a simple bridge and you were using ISA, I can see that. Otherwise? |

You should clarify. The EASIEST way is to only use 1 nic on the SBS server, and deny all unnecessary TCP ports to * at the router, with a pinhole on the SBS server. This avoids the whole 2-nic topology alltogether, but still allows the use if ISA. When doing it that way, and you want an unauthenticated, unloggable port forward to a user's desktop, just open it up on the router/gateway. Now if you want an AUTHENTECATED or LOGGED access, look to ISA. I think your initial question was how to port forward via the Server without ISA.
