This is my first experience with 2 networks and I would like to have your input on this.
On the lan side 192.168.30.x whch has pc’s and printers.
On the dmz side 192.168.40.x containing the AD, exchange and 2 Terminal Servers (TS).
There is also a router that connects the 2 networks.
a: I am able to ping from one network to the other.
b: I am not able to access shared resources of a network from the other network. (can you explain why ?)
c: I have try yet if a pc can join the domain and AD from the 30.x network.
(I am not sure if this will work)
items b and c are the most important to me at the moment.
Is there a way that I can make this work ?
Also if this does not work I want to go back to a flat network.
but then I have one more item too consider.
Some of the pc’s need to make vpn connections to the internet. Currently I am using winroute 5 for this, but If I add a hardware firewall in front of winroute (pc-winroute-hw firewall) will they still be able to make the vpn connections ?

the more input I receive the better.
