We are setting up a network as part of one of the final year modules at University and we need some guidance from the networking experts out there!
We have one server (WinServer 2003) and 3 clients (XP Prof). We will be using a standard switch, and CAT 5 etc, within the compounds of our classroom.
We are challenged to set up a secure network, with a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and I have been put in charge of installing, and configuring the firewall(s) (or "a" firewall).
Basicall, can anyone advise me on the following:
What firewall to use?
Best way to go about configuring it?
Any firewall advice/issues that may be relevant?
I am asking a lot here, so any help will be received gratefully
Any advice on any of the topics you think may be an issuse are welcome.
Many thanks,
Maz
I know firewalls have been discussed before, I am aiming for a more personal viewpoint for the LAN
