My DLink DWL-8200 is a pretty sweet device.
It'll build as many virtual WLAN as I need with diffrent security and access 
types betweem a,b, and g.

Thanks Jim. I'll take my time later today and listen to your webcast and see 
where I am doing this whole configuration wrong. At first I thought this whole 
configuration will be easy after reading some articles and checking out forums 
about people who have set it up before. It's been a week since I started doing 
this wireless and ISA server configuration and I haven't been successful yet.

Now it looks like I should have done my research about the right WAP to use to 
connect it to ISA server. I spent $140 on this Netgear WAP and just be'cos I 
can't configure it in WAP only mode, I won't be able to move forward to finish 
my configuration. Now, I have to come up with some money to buy the DLink WAP.

Thanks guys,

TD

So that means the D-Link - Xtreme N Wireless-N Gigabit Router access point can 
be configured in WAP only mode?

I don't have that router, so I can't tell you about that. Maybe it doesn't 
support WAP only mode? All my DLink's do.

And how does one configure the WAP in WAP only mode. I have searched around the 
menus on the Netgear RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit router access point but I 
don't see where I can configure in WAP only mode.

The WAP doesn't need to communicate with the firewall. The DMZ interface on the 
firewall should have a static IP address.



Make sure the WAP is configured in WAP only mode -- not router mode.

I don't have a problem for the WAP to assign IP addresses. It's just that when 
I do that and try to use the software that came with the WAP to configure it, 
it tries to change the static IP address assigned to the NIC the WAP is 
connected to, to a dynamic IP.

Thanks,

TD

Why not have the WAP assign the IP addressing information?

Subject: [isalist] Need help - Configuring Wireless Network with ISA Server 2006



Guys,
 I am in the process of configuring my Netgear RangeMax Wireles-N Gigabit 
Router Access Point with an ISA Server 2006. Before I go ahead and let you know 
my configuration problems, I just want to point out that I have already read 
Tom Shinder's articles:

http://www.isaserver.org/articles/2004wirelessdmzpart2.html

http://isaserver.org/tutorials/2004wirelessdmzpart1.html

Now my problem:
 I have assigned 3 NICs to the ISA server. The NIC assigned to the External 
network has no IP address since this NIC is connected to my Verizon box which 
gets IP dynamically from Verizon. The 2nd NIC assigned to the Internal network 
has an IP 192.168.5.1, 255.255.255.0 and with no default gateway. My ISA server 
has been configured as a DNS and a DHCP server. This configuration has been 
working out fine since I configured this network more than a year and a half 
ago. Two Laptops with wireless built-in cards have been added to my network so 
I decided to purchase a wireless access point and add it to the ISA server.

Now the 3rd NIC which is connected to the Netgear Access Point has an IP 
address of 192.168.1.5. The Access Point IP address is 192.168.1.1. I have 
configured the access point not to issue an IP to the client as a DHCP server.

The Default Internal network and the Default External network have been 
connected to the Wireless network which I have named WLAN-DMZ. I have also 
created "One Network Rule that defines a NAT route relationship between the DMZ 
and the Default External Network and  one Network Rule that defines a NAT route 
relationship between the Default Internal Network and the DMZ "  as Tom 
mentioned in his article part 2 above.

DNS to DMZ interface - configured.
HTTP DMZ to Internet - configured

How will the Laptops get and an IP address from the ISA server? My wireless 
connection seem not to be communicating at all with my ISA server. When I try 
to configure the access point with the software that came with it, it always 
tries to make the access point a DHCP server even though I have manually 
configured it not to assign IP addresses to wireless clients.

Any thing am missing out here?

Thanks for all of your help.

TD
