RE: Windows 2000 connection sharing
Sounds like a DNS issue. If you have a DNS server on your home network, make sure that it is set up to forward requests to the DNS servers for your DSL ISP. Then make sure that your shared workstations have their DNS point configured for the in-house server. Alternatively, you can point all of your shared boxes to the ISP's DNS servers, but where is the fun in that? Hope this helps.

RE: Easiest way to move everything to new server
It is part of the Resource Kit. Essentially it is a command based copy util (fully supports LFN). Similar to Xcopy. However it also copies all the file and directory permissions with it. So you can use it to copy everything from your old server to the new one. Your directory structure with shares and perms will be duplicated to the new box. -Original Message- From: David N.

RE: VPN NEWBIE
Tiffany all you need to do is goto network control panel, make new connection, choose VPN connection and tell it to listen using PPTP. On the fw/nat box you need to forward port 1723 (pptp) through to that box and that's basically it. Using the Cisco VPN you will need the client I am sure, and likely need to make some settings to look at the internal network. -Original Message- From: Tiffany Belcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2001 4:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: VPN NEWBIE I have a windows 2000 server.

RE: VPN NEWBIE
It depends on what you want to do exactly. There may be a cheaper and easier solution than VPN. PCanywhere. Since you have SDSL connection on your server all you need to do is install PCanywhere on your sever and the computer you want to access your server and connect through the internet. With this method you will be able to access your server, run any programs on it and download and upload files. If you can be more specific with what you wish to achieve I may be able to help you further.

Easiest way to move everything to new server
I have one W2K Server that I want to move everything lock, stock, and barrel to a new one -- all data, shares, and file permissions. What is the best way?

Do you run WINS? Have you created a LMHOSTS file for the client?

Re: Windows NT and Dfs
Blake, I got this from another list I'm on-hope this helps- NFS = NETWORK FILESYSTEM [SERVICE] It is the primary network sharing file service used by UNIX systems developed in the early '80s by SUN (which originally stood for "Sanford University Network" before Sun Microsystems was founded ;-). NFS is a truly "distributed filesystem" (DFS) ** where directories on a system could be local, on the local LAN, on a wide-area network, etc... and can be switched at anytime as the server it is located on is unimportant (and can even be _dynamic_!). [ ** Side note: Microsoft offers a "DFS" for its Windows Networking, although it's still not the same. The latest Samba 2.2 release can fully emulate this capability -- at least as good as non-"Active Directory" networks -- more below. ] NFS' "near-equivalent" in the Windows world is SMB = System Message Block -- hence the name "SaMBa" for the UNIX service that provides the "Windows Networking" equivalent. Where SMB works on a per-user basis, NFS works on a per system basis. E.g., under NFS, I might have _all_ user directories under /home. Under the SMB model, I would normally mount only /home/bob when BOB logs in (and need to have the scripts to match). Under the NFS model, I just have my system mount the /home directory from the server once, period ** -- which is important as UNIX is a _true_multiuser_system_. I.e. you could have _everybody_ logged in at once ;-) and mounting all these different directories could cause extra overhead! [ ** Side note: Most UNIX flavors have an "automounter" service that can mount/unmount filesystems, including NFS, as they are used, unused for a period of time (or timeout when inaccessable). I won't get into it here, but some flavors have very powerful automouting capabilities -- so clients can even "switch servers" when a server goes down -- all without the user noticing in some cases. ] Because of this "system-level" instead of "user-level" authentication, it's obvious that NFS can be a security risk. Depending on your authentication mechanism, trusting a client with full root-level access to your server may be a bad move. Using newer versions of NFS, like v3, various directory services, or ticketing authentication mechanisms can improve this, although it's up to the administrator to know what his UNIX NFS client can and cannot do, and to weild it proficiently. One thing to remember about NFS is that it is _very_old_ -- as old as MS-DOS itself! NFS was around before IBM-Microsoft even began talking about SMB and LAN Manager (which became NT and "Windows Networking" later on), and was 10 years old when the concept of what would become "Windows NT" was even being consider at the highest levels in Microsoft. This leads me into my next, related service discussion ... NIS = NETWORK INFORMATION SERVICE If NFS is the UNIX "equivalent" of the SMB "file service" on Windows, NIS is the UNIX "equivalent" of the largely undocumented CIFS (Common Internet Filesystem) "directory service" of Windows **. NIS, like NFS, is close to 20 years old. NIS was originally named "Yellow Pages" (which is a registered trademark of British Telecom, so Sun changed the name) and this still is readily apparent (programs: ypserv, ypbind, yppasswd, etc...). Part of Sun's "revised" Open Network Connect(?) (ONC) specification, NIS+ was a more secure version of NIS that never caught on. Largely because many UNIX flavors improved upon NIS themselves -- including Sun (see more on this below). [ ** Side note: CIFS is actually both the directory/authentication/controller services and the underlying file sharing service, basically a "redifinition" of SMB of sorts. Quite _un_documented and often "conflicting" with SMB for "proprietariness." But CIFS is more directly comparable to NIS than NFS for purposes of this discussion, so I will make the NFS is to SMB as NIS is to CIFS here. ] NIS, like NFS, has come under some fire in recent years for various security issues **. Some of this is warranted, but not unexpected given the age of NIS/NFS. Existing NFS v3 (which actually pre-dates NT's release) and Internet-focused v4 (which is more recent) address many of the security concerns file-wise. NIS is slowly losing marketshare to LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol -- a subset of X.500) and/or can be combined with Kerberos ticketing to improve on some issues. [ ** Side note: Actually, security issues usually involve not NIS and NFS themselves, but the underlying RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services -- usually via "portmapper" -- which NIS/NFS use.
