Hi
I have ordered SOHO3 for my client. They have 2 servers one exchange 5.5 and file server and 40 nodes and some PC Anywhere users. I like to setup this SOHO3 firewall. I am looking for some instructions or note for the best way to plan this. Thank you very much for any help I can get.

Hi Moe, we have several SonicWall devices here spread out across 3 branches. If you haven't used them yet, they are very easy to set up. Out of the box the thing would work for them, just need to adjust the network settings. You will want to knowif they have an assigned IP from the ISP or Dynamic. The SOHO will allow you to set up NAT for the 40 some odd clients. Also, if not already default, you can open any necessary ports for PC Anywhere. We only initiate PC Anywhere from the LAN, so I'm not sure which Port it might be off hand. Easy to find though. Then just make sure all W/S are pointing to the Soho as there gateway. You can set up specific route statements within the Soho if necessary, this would be comparable to a Route Add statement at the local machine.

Hope this answers the question. I wouldn't use the Wizard that Soho will want to run the first time (personal preference), but it would probably work. The network setup tool is handy though.

Let me know if you need more specific help.
