I need to put a stateful in because my siemens t-1 router just cant handle
me turning on the firewall it crashed every 5-10 minutes and reboots. I was
looking at IP cop but that does natting and wont let me pass public domains
thru to the client. Basically I am looking for something that will let me
have my public IP on the WAN side 66.80.22x.xxx and also let me put public
Ip's on the LAN side as well. This way I wont have to go change IP's to
everyone..

I cant remember if mikrotik or anyone else's software would work this way. I
thought about just getting one of those Netgear routers FVS 318 which seem
pretty robust I use one at a business and they have yet to catch the bug
since putting it in I had a linksys there before and they caught all kinds
of viruses..

Knock on wood...but, I haven't had a single virus get into my network yet.
I have been blocking NETBIOS ports forever with a  stateless firewall...then
I have a stateful firewall as well.  Same for outgoing.

Firewalls do help!

Most these worm hassles come through on port 137,139 or 445 so if you shut
those ports down for incoming on your head end router I.E your T-1 router
then you should not see as much problems with worms getting into your
system, then all you have to do is patch and remove the worm from those
already infected. I have 8+ customer PC's I am doing virus cleanup on and I
will be charging something and they were happy to have me do it. You can not
control every worm or virus from getting into your system but you can make
it harder..

One of the problems I seem to be facing frequently these days is that a
single customer can get a virus and generate tremendous amounts of traffic,
which brings the whole network to a crawl. Normally bandwidth shaping at the
NOC will limit the amount the customer can transmit, due to the Transmission
Control Protocol part of TCP/IP. But if it is something like the Nachi.worm
it is ping packets which do not have transmission control and can be spewed
out at tremendous rates that no bandwidth shaper can control. So what's the
solution to stop these slowdowns and outages caused by these viruses?

A) Reduce the customer's functionality by insisting they use a router or
firewall.
B) Have bandwidth shaping at the CPE.

Personally I prefer B.... but that seems to be expensive, usually.
Smartbridges, it might be something you can include in your Nexus product?

Thanks,
Roger
