Terminal Server WAN NIC goes to sleep mode.

[Guest rajan.regmi@gmail.com]

Terminal Server WAN NIC goes to sleep mode.

 

I have TS with Win 2003 SP2. It has 2 NIC Intel PRO/1000 one connects

to Cisco ADSL router and other to a hub. The NIC that connects to

Cisco (WAN) it is natted to allow RDC on to it.

 

LAN NIC configuration

IP: 192.168.0.100

SM: 255.255.255.0

DG: 192.168.0.200 (which is DC)

DNS: 192.168.0.200

 

WAN NIC configuration

IP: 10.10.10.3

SM: 255.255.0.0

DG: 10.10.10.1 (which is CISCO)

DNS: 192.168.0.200 (which is DC)

 

Time to time WAN nic goes to sleep and every one is kicked out from

the connection, to get the user back I have to disable the WAN

connection and enable it again. This problem happens 2-3 times a day.

I have checked the power management of the nic, updated the latest nic

drivers and also done all the latest MS updates but no luck. Any

solution? Thanks

Re: Terminal Server WAN NIC goes to sleep mode.

 

Two default gateways is a contradiction in terms. If you want to have two

NICS you should set a default gateway on your WAN interface and a static

route to your LAN.

A better solution altogether is to redesign your topology. You are not

securing the LAN as it is, because if the TS is compromised it has access to

the LAN.

- You can put the servers on the same LAN, and use VPN or even RDP to

connect

- Or with more cost you can create a separate DMZ for the TS, with no access

through to the LAN.
