FTP & Setting up separate network
bvIseries, Now, this looks a lot better solution. Pl help me clarify few things.. 1. With our voice & dictation system on a T-1 circiut, came a simple router(say, RTR#1), already installed (unused and paid-for) that can be connected to a LAN; and gives us a bandwidth of 250K. The documents I am going to FTP are usually 25-30K, about 50/day; so the bandwith should be ok... time it takes is not a problem. The step would now be is I can buy a firewall router(RTR#2); connect the ethernet port to campus LAN, and the DSL porrtt to RTR#1. I don't have to pay for monthly DSL then as voice system will send it thru their ISP. Does this sound ok? 2. Now, which router gets the IP address 172.162.xx.xx (or whatever)? I think it would be the RTR#2. 3. Would configuring this router need a PC connection initially? 4. >>5. Also configure the router to block all inbound ports (unless you need inbound FTP then create a static route to the AS/400)<< Crating static route meaning buying static IP addresses? 5. >>These are the basic steps and there are some tweaks that need to be done.<< Can you pl shed some light on these? Thanks again.....
