RE: [FW1] Multiple Protocols - TCP/IP & NETBEUI

[Thomas . Poole]

A couple of things come to mind.   NetBeui is not good for networks over 50 or so. It also has to be bridged to remote subnets. If you are planning on moving to Win2000, NetBeui is not going to be a good answer. DNS, IP and Active Directory is required to get the full benefits of the OS. One thing you may be able to do is Segment the users that do not need access to the web, via VLANs.   Thomas Poole -----Original Message----- From: sathish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 6:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW1] Multiple Protocols - TCP/IP & NETBEUI Hi,   We want to setup a network which has approx 150 users approx behind the Checkpoint Firewall 4.1 (Windows NT domain).   Out of 150 computers, only 100 computers need access to internet(transactions) but all other users will not be required to go out to Internet. Balance 50 users will be accessing database server and other resources on the localnetwork (for this set of users internet access is not required).   For this... Can We do the following ...   1. On the database server install TCP/IP and NetBEUI. 2. Install NetBEUI on all the 150 Computers to share resources among all 3.By doing this can we avoid buying more license from checkpoint for the computers which doesnot need internet access. 4. If we do the way we have mentioned above , is the entire network is secure ? 5.or else is it better to buy 150 licenses and use TCP/IP ?   regs   sathish m r
