Terminal Server WAN NIC goes to sleep mode.

Terminal Server WAN NIC goes to sleep mode.

I have TS with Win 2003 SP2. It has 2 NIC Intel PRO/1000 one connects
to Cisco ADSL router and other to a hub. The NIC that connects to
Cisco (WAN) it is natted to allow RDC on to it.

LAN NIC configuration
IP: 192.168.0.100
SM: 255.255.255.0
DG: 192.168.0.200 (which is DC)
DNS: 192.168.0.200

WAN NIC configuration
IP: 10.10.10.3
SM: 255.255.0.0
DG: 10.10.10.1 (which is CISCO)
DNS: 192.168.0.200 (which is DC)

Time to time WAN nic goes to sleep and every one is kicked out from
the connection, to get the user back I have to disable the WAN
connection and enable it again. This problem happens 2-3 times a day.
I have checked the power management of the nic, updated the latest nic
drivers and also done all the latest MS updates but no luck. Any
solution? Thanks

Re: Terminal Server WAN NIC goes to sleep mode.

Two default gateways is a contradiction in terms. If you want to have two
NICS you should set a default gateway on your WAN interface and a static
route to your LAN.
A better solution altogether is to redesign your topology. You are not
securing the LAN as it is, because if the TS is compromised it has access to
the LAN.
- You can put the servers on the same LAN, and use VPN or even RDP to
connect
- Or with more cost you can create a separate DMZ for the TS, with no access
through to the LAN.
