i am having two lans. I want to use a server 2003 in LAN-A for smtp/pop services. I want to connect a pc (Win XP) in LAN-B with the server in LAN-A for the smtp/pop services, however, the LAN-A should not be visible/accessible to any computer on LAN-B. I also want to use one Win XP pc in LAN-A for the smtp/pop services. Ip of LAN-A is 172.16.124.54, Subnet-255.255.255.0, g/w-172.16.123.1. the IP of LAN-A is 192.168.30.xx. Pse help
Is this a homework question? There are a number of incongruencies
LAN-A is 172.16.124.54, Subnet-255.255.255.0, g/w-172.16.123.1.
Gateway is in a different subnet than lanAfor the smtp/pop services
What do you mean? Actual services or do you mean like Outlook?Do you understand you can accomplish what it appears you desire with far less complication? Vlans
brother i have given the ip & g/w of LAN-B which are correct and working. this lan is not under my administration. However, LAN-A is under my control. My requirements are:
1) use a windows server 2003 in LAN-A as smtp/pop server.
2) connect lan-a to this server and send/receive messages through outlook.
3) connect one pc (win xp) in lan-b to this server (on 2nd NIC) and send/receive messages through outlook.
4) most important no pc on LAN-B should be able to access my files in LAN-A. If possible no LAN-A pcs should be visible on LAN-B PCs.
5) Ip of LAN-B (srry not lan-a) is 172.16.124.54, Subnet-255.255.255.0, g/w-172.16.123.1. the IP of LAN-A is 192.168.30.xx
"Ip of LAN-B (srry not lan-a) is 172.16.124.54, Subnet-255.255.255.0, g/w-172.16.123.1." 172.16.124.54
172.16.123.1
x.x.124.x
x.x.123.x
you can not have a gateway for
172.16.124.x with
172.16.123.yThese are different subnets. Your gateway resides in the same subnet. You need a x.x.124.x gateway.
Make sense?"use a windows server 2003 in LAN-A as smtp/pop server."
Do you understand that you need a public domain name to do this? That domain name has to have a public MX record that points to your server.
You would put in a gateway router between lanB and lanA. This way no one can access lanA from B unless you provide a route. You would open up the pop/smtp ports in the router to let that pass through.
Why do you think you need a mail server?
