How To Setup Home Server And Restricting Users
Feb 20, 2013
I am a networking student so have access to a free copy of Windows Server 2012. I want to setup and get experience with AD, DHCP, and DNS, among other services. Right now I have a Netgear router attached to a Cisco switch. (studying for CCENT cert) I have my desktop and server plugged into switch. I want my desktop to connect to the domain for testing and messing aroudn with. My wife has a netboook, smartphone, and wireless ipod. I'd like her 3 devices to get an IP from the DHCP server without having her authenticate to the server. Will the Netgear router allow this since wirless access is on? Or will she need to authenticate with the server to get a DHCP IP? I am gonig to disable the router's DHCP service.

got myself the Netgear internal PCI wifi adapter today & it works just fine on my Windows XP SP3 desktop.
The only problem I have is the question of restricting complete internet access to kids @ home. If it was an external USB adapter, I could have just taken it away but the concern is the device being an internal & always available one.
The user configuration on the PC is such that there is 1 main administrator (The actual windows "administrator" account) that no one uses. Apart from that,
- 1 user with admin privileges (me)
- 1 limited account for the kid
- 1 admin privilege account for the kid again (for purposes like installation of games which require an admin account as mandatory)
I would like for the wifi PCI card to work only when I login to my user account. There must be someway by which I could disable the device or make the internet inaccessible in the other accounts,, (but pls bear that 1 of the account that the kid uses also has admin privilege)
I tried disabling the device from control panel but in vain.. (tried something like the sys admins do in corporates ..) disabling the usb ports on the PC's in my office..!

I would like to set up a home server, that will sit under the stairs so that it can link to out BT home hub (v3). The idea is then to connect the printer to it, so that we can have both a wireless printer and a central file store for pictures/vids etc.Is XP ok for this? if so, what settings do I need to change/add?Is there any software that I need to make it work?How do I make sure that it is secure for external hacking? As it will contain our personal docs/photos etc and I would hate to use them.

I want to setup my home network to run a DLNA server for videos, music, etc. I know that there are many new routers and NAS devices out there that now have the capability to run a DLNA server built-in. My question is, which would provide a better DLNA server: one that is built into the router or one that is built into the NAS device?

I have a Cisco 2901 Terminal server with AAA authentication via ACS server. I create twoaccounts on the acs server, cciesec2011 and vendor. Both accounts can log into the Cisco 2901 Terminal Server without any issues. By the way, I am NOT using AAA authorization on the Cisco Terminal Server. Once cciesec2011 or vendor accounts are authenticated, theseaccounts can access all the async line on the Cisco Terminal Server.
Now I have a new requirements. I would like to allow cciesec2011, once this account is successfully authenticated, this account has access to ALL async line on the Terminal Server. The "vendor" account, I want to restrict this account access only to async line 35 (there are 32 async lines available on the Cisco Terminal Server) and nothing else.
How can I accomplish without using AAA authorization on the Cisco Terminal Server?Is it possible to use "privlege level" to accomplish this? if so, how?

I want to setup a wifi network in my office that can support 200+ users at a time. I'm trying to but I have very limited knowledge about networking. We currently have 2 5MBPS internet leased lines. The total office area is around 2000sq ft, all open, separated by glass walls only. I'm thinking about buying a powerful load balancing router and a switch, then connected 4-6 wireless router to this switch and give single wireless SSIDs to all routers. I want to keep one single network for all the users. Is this the right way to do?

I have setup a webserver on my home PC and I have forwarded port 80 on my router to the IP adress of the PC that is running the web server. The web server is working great; I can get to my web pages from outside of my home by going to http://MyIpAddress/Anyway, the problem is with the Windows Media Player plugin I'm using. I want to embed 6GB MPEG-2 videos into my web pages. I have some videos on my PC and I want to be able to watch them remotely by connecting into my web page. It works fine when I'm at home; other PCs can connect and play the videos no problem. The problem is when I'm at work. When I'm at work, I go to my web page (via my IP address in a web browser) and the Media Player plugin says "Connecting" for a minute, then it says Ready, but the video will not play. I tried using a smaller, AVI file (680 MB) instead to see if the problem was streaming such a large file, but the video still would not play.Do I need to foward more ports on my router so that Windows Media Player can connect back and get the information it needs?

I have a network set up with file sharing. I use a Windows 7 PC to host files that are shared with few other PCs - some on Windows 7, some on Windows XP. The file sharing works but sometimes some users are unable to get access to the files. It seems to be only on the machines that are on XP that this problem occurs. The error message is something like \PCNAME is not accessible...
The user can connect if the machine storing the files is restarted but it will happen 4-5 times during the day.

I presently have a fiber internet connection to my office with about 40 wireless users on a single AP. The connection keeps dropping. Probably due to too many users on a single AP?
1. My question is similar to aniketchitale's, can get another wireless router, create a different SSID (eg. router1 and router2), but both wireless routers still connected to the same fiber connection. In other words, I would like to segregate the first 20 users to router 1 and the next 20 users to router 2.
2. By having 2 wireless routers each with their unique SSID, will all the users still be able to access to the same printer in the office?

I have configured and tested an ASA-5505 that will be deployed at a customer's home. The ISP cable modem will connect to the E0 (outside) interface of the ASA. All other interfaces on the ASA are configured for the inside network 192.168.5.0/24. I have created a VPN site-to-site tunnel between this ASA and the UC540 to allow 192.168.5.0/24 subnet access to the internal networks on the UC540.
The user has requested that all the network devices used by the rest of the family will only need to connect to the Internet. They will not need access to the VPN tunnel and they will not need access to the computers on the 192.168.5.0/24 inside network. I was planning on performing the following tasks to get this to work.

I'm trying to setup ACS 5.2 with an ASA v8.3.2 to lock users into VPN groups based on a users AD group. I've tried various combinations but the group lock isn't working. I've done steps 1 & 2 ...
1) Network Devices and AAA Clients -> Define VPN
2) Users and Identity Stores -> Setup AD and Directory Groups, test connection
Policy Elements:
Q1) Policy Elements - Do I need an authorization profile for each group:
Q2) What RADIUS attributes should I use to match my ASA tunnel-groups?
RADIUS-IETF attribute 25?RADIUS-Cisco VPN 3000/ASA/PIX 7.x 85 (Tunnel-Group-Lock)?Other?
Access Policies:
Q1) Do I need to enable and use group mapping?
Q2) Do I need a Network Access Authorization Policy for each group?

I have DIR-615 Cx (bought in Taiwan) Hardware C2 ver. I reflashed with DIR-615 firmware from Singapore to get English interface. I connect to a internet through another router on which I setup D-Link on DMZ with port forwarding. Router works fine, I have internet connection. So the question is: I have small cafe and want to offer customers WiFi connection. I want to setup a time limit and allow them to browse only internet not internal network. (When I connect laptop to D-Link Wifi I can see my NAS on different subnet connected to cable modem/router) And if its possible to limit bandwidth. Can I do it with DIR-615 and how to configure such a setup?

I've got the E2000 at home for our private network.
We are three guys sharing a flat. We have personal laptops, work laptops, mobile phones, games consoles, tablets etc that connect to the internet.
Problem is that when someone downloads stuff, the speed is slow for the rest of us. So i was hoping i could set up something like three "channels" so each of us could have the same download speed, ie 1 mbs each regardless if others are using the network at the same time. And then maybe a guest network for all the mobiles and tablets etc. MAC filtering for access for our personal laptops should work.
We have a 20mbit cable network line.
Can i do all of this on the E2000 and how?

I have a Cisco 5508 running version 7.0.116.0. This controller hosts an open public wifi that requires users to accept a terms agreement via a Web-Passthrough setup that redirects them to the terms splash page. For most people this works without any issue. However, if a user has their homepage for their default browser set to a https site, such as [url]..., then they are never redirected to the terms splash page. The page will just spin and spin until finally they get a timeout error.

I run a webserver that has worked fine for a while. Recently, I've been getting calls from people who say that the page is no longer pulling up. There were several reported cases, but no specifics. Finally I talked to someone today.He said they changed their ISP to AT&T U-Verse and that's when the problem started. When trying to go to our webpage, his browser times out. He has tried in Firefox, IE and even on the iPad, so it seems to be a router and/or ISP problem.I thought it might be a DNS server problem, but I changed it to Google's public DNS server,

I run a small software development firm with around 15 network users. We currently have broadband DSL (only thing available in our area with decent up/down speeds - 2/20 respectively). We have 7 development (Win 2008/2012) servers and 4 sales people that tie up bandwidth with video conferencing/movies/music/etc..We aren't running a DHCP server (the modem/router handles DHCP) or exchange (we use gmail). We essentially have the broadband modem, a cradlepoint mbr1400 router as AP, and a 24 port unmanaged switch, a few wireless printers, and of course each employee has at least one other device connected via WIFI.

I have a Time Warner Cable business class service with no static IP, with a wireless modem which is plugged to a CAT5 distribution panel. On the jacks (2 other rooms on the house) I have a Linksys E3000 and a Linksys Valet router for signal boost and gadgets usage (TV, cameras, etc).The main router (TWC) has it's own external IP which TWC assigns to me and internally distributes via DHCP the range 192.168.0.x. With that said:
- The E3000 has a 192.168.0.6 IP -- this is fixed setup on the TWC router (ubee brand) by MAC address
- The Valet has a 192.168.0.7 IP -- this is fixed setup on the TWC router (ubee brand) by MAC address
- The main router has the 192.168.0.1 as the gateway and web-interface
Whenever I connect something to the E3000, it is distributing the 192.168.1.x range and the valet 192.168.2.x range.That works perfectly for my home based business until I decided to use more stuff on the network such as a IP printer, IP cameras, etc.
- The IP cameras are connected to the E3000 due to signal strength and I have manually assigned them the 192.168.1.15 and 192.168.1.16 IPs and ports 9001 and 9002.
- The printer is connected to the E3000 and I have manually assigned the IP 192.168.1.30.
Issue 1: Port forwarding On the main router (TWC - UBEE) I have tried to setup a port forwarding by informing the Local IP as 192.168.0.6 (E3000 IP), Internal Port 0, Public Interface IP (0.0.0.0), Ext Start Port 9001, Ext End Port 9001, Protocol - Both, Enabled Yes. On the E3000 I did the same config (screen shot attached e3000.png).This is not working properly. I can't get into the camera.
Issue 2: Printer/ The printer is only accessible if I connect to the E3000 (because it is on the 192.168.1.x network)
Issue 3: How to configure all the devices on the same subnet? If I want everyone to be on the 192.168.0.x network, how to configure properly the E3000 and the Valet? I have tried to force them into the same network but it would not work properly. It would not get an IP from the UBEE router (main).

i've been using a VPN to connect to my home network from elsewhere for a few months. It's set up as follows:
PPTP
Maximum Strength Encryption
EAP-MSCHAP-v2 Authentication
Now I find out that MSCHAPv2 authentication has been broken and is no longer considered secure (even by Microsoft), so I want to change the protocol I'm using to make it secure.
However, I've spent 3 hours now researching this and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use a better protocol on my Windows Server 2012 home server. I've tried setting up PEAP authentication (still PPTP) a la Microsoft's recommendation document, but it requires a certificate. I've created a self-signed certificate but it seems I can't issue certificates (via this method) without being a member of a domain, so I'm stuck. I can't even get started with L2TP since I can't find the option for it.
My question is this: Is there a way to setup a secure VPN server using Windows Server 2012 without a domain? If so, how do I do this?
