Set Up Secure NAS With Two Networks And One Of Them Open?
Jul 8, 2012
One project I want to do is get them a network storage drive (Except, due to budget reasons, all I get is the 1Tb external they've had for a year now, and a NAS adapter). I can set up the NAS no problem, but here is the catch. From the ISP we have a B/G Router/Modem combo, and for range, we have a d-link B/G/N router.
I would like to have the ISP's G network open to cover our lobby for free access, and have the D-Link's N to cover the far offices, WITH access to the files. Now the issue, how do I set up the D-Link router, to only share the NAS files with devices conected directly to it.
I am working on an Acer netbook One series ZG5. The issue is that it will not connect to a wireless network if any of the security authentication protocals are activative. It will connect and operate fine via the hardwired RJ45 ethiernet connection. If I set the network up on the wireless router to an open network I can connect to it just fine. I have no issues opening IE8 when connected to an unsecured network. This box did work until I was reimiaging an desktop that had issues and used a usb thumb drive to store files from the desktop to the netbook prior to wiping the desktop.
There are free vpn services. When the vpn adds a pad lock to the network icon, is it then secure to use it on insecure networks like public wifi to get internet access? I mean, the password is given to you from the vpn provider's website.
I recently found out my laptop (Windows Vista)...cannot connect to secured networks. I was to connect to router using ethernet cable before, then i can connect to an unsecured network just fine..i remember that 2 years ago i can connect to secured networks...
i can't provide the name or brand of the router since it is owned by the landlord and only provided me with the password
So we just got a new router for our higher speed internet. The modem is an Actiontec Q1000 from Qwest. We used to live out in the middle of nowhere, so we never needed to secure our internet. Now we live close to neighbors and we need to encrypt the wireless. When I try any encryption, however, I can't connect at all. I have tried temporarily having it unlocked and I could connect without a problem. It also works fine when I'm using my Ethernet cord.
Heres my IPCONFIG.

Having just installed the E1000 why have I got a public network address '####' which is security type WPA2 -PSK and also public network address '#### - Guest' which is security type - unsecured.Anyone can log onto either wireless network connection but only with the correct password.How do I remove the '####' address and also how do I make the '#### - Guest' address a secure one.
My boss's old Windows XP laptop was able to connect to open wireless networks automatically so he never had to click that icon on the bottom right to check signals or anything like that. Is there anything like that I could set up on Windows 7?
I realize that this is not secure and very silly. I suggested choosing the best and trusted networks available. My boss, however, doesn't want to accept that he should have to go through more steps with newer technology. So in this case, I'd just like to give him what he's asking for.
I want to know how can I secure the network, I would like to know a complete schema of the insfrastructure, in other words, how to build a network with 4 vlans, firewall? one vlan will be for admin area personal other vlan will be for wifi access secure with password, not everybody will have access to it the other vlan will be for a small personal with at least 20 people. What will be the proper way to build the topology from this hardware that I have shown or with a new hardware. If it is another hardware, what can I use to secure it with vlans ?? This is a small office branch network that as you can see, one switch is on the floor.
My laptop suddenly stopped being able to conect to my home wifi router. It stays at "waiting for network to be ready" while at the back the wifi list stays at "acquiring network adress" for a couple of minutes and then resets to regular disconnected status.All my other wireless gadgets at home can connect with no problem whatsoever.Wifi strength is great and, when disabling security, the laptop connects without a hitch and very quickly. I tried all possible security combinations the router can give me, always using a second wifi device to check if connection and browsing was possible.i tried everything I googled: drivers, firmwares, ipconfig reset renew, started and stopped services, to no avail.
I was just wondering what the best way to secure my network would be. I was reading this article then the comments from others were saying that most of that info is laughable and really no good besides creating a password or encryption key. I have in the past had my wireless router set to not broadcast the SSID as well me creating my own SSID so it's not just Linksys or whatever and I had mac filtering enabled as well use WPA2 Personal and had a password. But I had some problems such as my Aunt's Laptop wouldn't connect unless I broadcasted the SSID and now my brother came back from Colorado and he said he never had any problems connecting to his friends Wireless network, I am assuming his friends was unsecured but here his Laptop won't stay connected unless I have an unsecured network so if I had it set to having a password it would connect but then disconnect after like 3 seconds but now it's staying connected but I have it completely unsecured. His drivers are completely updated from what I can tell.
His laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1500 series not sure exactly at the moment but I think it's the e1505. It's like 4 years old he got it in 2008 which when I was at dells website and typed in his service tag and found drivers the newest wireless card driver was from 2008. Anyways my router is a Linksys WRTU54G-TM Wireless G router with 2 phone ports. Anyways my network would consist of 2 Desktop PC's one running windows 7 1 running XP but both are right next to the router and are wired so nothing there then as for wireless there are 3 laptops at this time my brothers Dell E1505 I think (It Won't stay connected) and it runs Vista, my Dell Latitude C840 running XP (No problems)and an Acer extensa 4420 running XP (also no problems). Also my younger brothers friend comes over a lot and bring his Laptop which is an HP something running XP (no problems) Also we have a PS3, A Wii each have connected fine and possibly my brother from Colorado's Xbox 360. Also my younger brothers friend also brings his PS3 over and has no problems. There are also 3 ipod touches no problems either. We also have Ooma VOIP telephone service and that's just connected directly to the router
I am with Virginmedia networking. my main computer is attached to the hub but another one in the same room as the hub is picking up the Sitecom range extender at the top of the stairs, and 3 other computers are picking up off that but it is saying it is unsecured.how i can secure the Sitecom extender.
I too am having a problem establishing a secure connection for Dropbox, Adobe update and just about every website I try to access via Firefox or Chrome comes up as unsecure. I can add exceptions, but I would rather access them securely.
We're using Cisco Secure ACS 5.2 as a Proxy AAA server, using Active Directory as an External Identity Store. They are already synced and connected and thus I can login into the VPN using my Domain credentials.
But that's not enough. My client needs to limit who can and can't establish VPN session, I mean, the way it is now, EVERY single employee can do that if his/her credentials are valid in the Active Directory domain controller. So I need to do two things:
1) Using the Microsoft NPS server, via dialin attribute, allow or deny VPN sessions using ACS/ASA;
2) Using the company user credential attribute to identify which Authorization Group the requesting user should be in, Downloadable ACLs will then be applied according to the access policies created for each company.
I have a ISA 2006 server with a static WAN IP that runs our Office, 2 DC's (1 file server), One sharepoint, and 20 Desktops, In the same rack i have a webserver with its own static WAN IP NOT connected to the Local network (to keep it secure and keep Users from using that as web access). The cable modem has 2 ip's. that goes to a switch , one leg feeds the ISA which in turn feeds the LAN switch. the other leg feeds the webserver. Is it possible to connect the Webserver to the LAN, but keep the WAN IP and not allow users to use that connection to the internet. ( keep all internet traffic going through the ISA ) but allow the webserver to transfer backups and such to the File Server on the LAN. FYI: the Webserver has 4 NIC's
I had an odd occurrence today on my network. One particular desktop running Vista could not access secure websites (httpsremoved the DHCP lease on my server (Windows 2008), let the desktop pick up a new address and all is good nowThis is a production network (domain) environment
due to goverment regs i need to secure the server vlan at work. i was using a acl applied to the vlan, but thought adding an ASA would provide better security. I had done some brief review of my design and options. I was thinking of using vrf and connect to exsisting ASA 5520. i would need to add the server subnet vrf to the global routing table. seems to get tricky. I am currently testing just adding the firewall to a vlan with a client. No vrf. This seems to working ok but the inbound and outbound rules have to be adjusted more than i realized. I was expecting traffic inaitiated outbound to flow unrestircted and filter on the inbound.
Is there anyway to have my wireless network secure on an WPA2? I am sharing with my landlords network. Everytime I try to create a 14 digit password it disables my connection. Does my landlord have to create a password or can I just do it myself?
