Setup:
Linksys WRT54G router
2 Linux based boxes (one is an apache web server)
1 windoze 2000 Pro Box (for file storage primarily, and games
).
Problem:
I woke up this morning and lots of network traffic going/coming from the windoze 2000 box. The router is configured to NOT allow internet access to/from the windoze Box (static IP: 192.168.1.102)
I have port forwarding enabled for port 80 which is forwarded to one of the linux boxes. For the port forwarding to work, I had to disable the ??NAT redirection?? in the firewall portion of the router. I suspect that this makes my internal network more visible to the outside world?
I just want my windoze box to be visible/used by only internal PC's (using Samba). NO INTERNET ACCESS!!
Suggestions on what I'm doing wrong or need to do/check?
Thanks.
