Hi,
I have joined a company last week and this is what i found out..
adsl modem
Dc with 2 nic(also acts as a sql app server too for the local clients and remote database for branches.)
Ex 5.5 With 2 nic(!!!!!!!)
2 Cam servers with 2 nic's
1 Novell 4.11 for old dos based app.
and finally one static ip.

so everybody is connected with the lan and at the same time with the internet too. I hate this setup and i want to fix this... any suggestions?

for anyone to give you any kind of recomendation.

Do you have a firewall and/or router installed on the dsl connection?

What do the two nic's on each of the servers connect to?

"Everyone is connected to the interent". What does that mean? Connected to the internet sounds like they are getting live public IP addreses from the ISP. Or do you have your own DHCP server?

What does the static IP point to?

How do the Remote Offices connect for access to the database?
Do they connect directly to the database application from the remote location or are they using Terminal Services Client to log in to the server before running hte client pert of the application?

here is the rest of the answer.....

1. 3com Adsl router with dhcp & firewall off
2. 1 Nic goes to Lan switch and the other goes to Adsl router with static ip.
3. the Dc provides Dhcp for lan users and Ras for remote users.
4.the static ip points to the adsl router
5.Remote offices conect to the Dc with a vpn dial in connection.
6.Remote offices have their own database, they use the vpn connection to replicate data.
