Guest Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 2 things Keke;1) I think you've misunderstood somewhere. The objective is to restrict access between the four networks, not between the DVR and the network in general. 2) Where do you buy your firewalls from? 1K is way over the top for this application. 38012[/snapback] 1) YES, EXACTLY! The objective is to restrict access between the four networks, not between the DVR and the network in general. I understood that those 4 networks ARE separated from each others already. So we allow traffic from those networks to DVR, but not from anywhere else. Thats why the firewall is needed. With switch (which _MIGHT_ be needed ) we connect all 5 networks together and to Router (Gateway to internet). 2) I buy them from hardware store. Of course you can by a cheap DIY firewall if you want to.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. We're obviously losing something in the translation here, I think I might have to just say let's leave it. 2) I buy them from hardware store. 38185[/snapback] Hmmm........

Hmmm........ 38227[/snapback] well - errrrrrrrr... for some reason i understood that they have common internet service provider... in that case they would have firewalled their networks anyway. if they have their own ISP:s "only" way to make it is internet driven. in this case i would try to borrow some tenants internet connection, put the switch between their router and their firewall and then connect your firewall to the switch and DVR behind it. Of course they have to have spare IP:s to lend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IM_Alarms Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I don't think they are interested in an internet solution as the site is a multi-tenant site, some of which are short lease and could possibly not have internet access. But keep up the good work you lot, i'm learning a lot so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
