Can term server be ISA server?

by jonhunt2 . Updated 21 years, 1 month ago

Hello all:

I have a client who has a new Windows server 2003 SMB for his database applications. We turned his old server into a terminal server running Windows 2003 Std. We have a Belkin Pre-N wireless router that also acts as our NAT and firewall. (BTW, Belkin does not pass GRE packets so VPN using PPTP is not working.) So, I am trying to configure the VPN with L2TP (which is also causing me problems.)

After reading MS Knowledgebase 885348 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;885348, it appears I need to make the terminal server also act as the firewall – or ISA server. So my questions are: Can I configure a Terminal Server that has a public IP address to be protected without having an additional firewall? If so, how would I go about that? Is it OK/possible to have an ISA server and a Terminal Server together as one server in the same box?? What would be the recommended way?

Thanks very much for your help.

Jon
