I try to avoid using SMB/CIFS through NAT when I can. I have not tried doing any extensive work through it on the Gnatbox. I always use IPPT with my dmz when that is necessary. Perhaps it is a NAT quirk? Hopefully someone else can shed some light.

Basically, Protected = 10.0.0.x PROPSN = 10.0.20.x I do have a COLO segment that is Pass through and using bridging -- I'm going to try and see how file sharing works through that network segment. If this problem was happening with our old GB-1000, it wasn't as apparent as it's been since we got the GB-1200 earlier this year. Also, one thread I saw somewhere mentioned MTU settings on firewall and whatnot, but I don't think that's an option with the GB. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 3:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [gb-users] Windows file sharing through gnatbox Are you attempting this through NAT or are you using IP Pass-Through Filters?

And remember, sometimes it is working and you wouldn't even know a problem. But then if you try and copy a lot of small files, it'll abort somewhere in beginning, middle, or end... I've even checked all the ethernet wiring from machines, through Gnatbox, switches, etc. I searched on google a few weeks ago, forgot the exact phrase, but found a LOT of people with same type of problem but no mentioning of a good solution... -----Original Message----- From: Chris Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 3:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [gb-users] Windows file sharing through gnatbox Have you tried using \\IP.ADD.RE.SS\Share instead of machine name or perhaps adding the server's IP address to your hosts and lmhosts files?

They do not have access to internal DNS and don't have any WINS servers -- since not in a domain, DNS shouldn't be an issue right? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 3:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [gb-users] Windows file sharing through gnatbox Are these machines on your domain? Have you created rules to allow the servers to access your DNS and WINS servers on your protected network? How are you doing name resolution? Chris Green -----Original Message----- From: Ben Alexander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 2:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gb-users] Windows file sharing through gnatbox Has anyone experienced weird file sharing issues through Gnatbox, like going from a Protected interface to dev/dmz/pro interfaces? The problem is pretty sporadic, but it's hard to keep a decent drive mapped on servers in our dmz from our protected network. And if I bypass Gnatbox and put servers in dmz on protected network there are no problems. I'm not saying it is definately a problem with Gnatbox, but I think with firewalls in general and Windows file share protocols. Nothing is shown as being blocked in/out in logs. We have about 500 active connections listed in GB, and the utilization %'s and all look ok. For example, if you try and go to \\machineindmz\c$ some of the time it'll just error right away (\\machine\c$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.), eventually you'll get a user/pass prompt and put it in... and sometimes it'll bring up C$ right away or take a long time. Working with ASP files in Ultraedit is very cumbersome when trying to save. On some of servers I've enabled FTP and WebDav, but WebDav is slow for copying files and FTP just annoying with the way we code on the dev servers. Any tips? ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/ ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/
