That's odd. It usually doesn't make sense to route SMB traffic at all. Do the computers believe they're all on one big subnet? That'd be more like bridging.
Our network topo is this:
We have dual homed servers. 1 home is 192.0.10.0 (main home LAN) other home is 192.0.0.0 (WAN). We have the 192.0.0.0 (WAN) so our servers can talk over WAN to our other location (192.0.3.0). It is a Frame Relay connection. We have serial network printers in the other location (192.0.3.0) but the server (that people work on and send print jobs from) is at the main location (192.0.0.0).
NOW the other location. It's LAN is 192.0.3.0. It still needs to talk to 192.0.0.0 (WAN) to connect to the unix server (off site) and so the unix server can send print jobs to the (on site) printers. THUS, 192.0.3.0 (other home LAN) must communicate with 192.0.0.0 (WAN) but it only needs to for those printing purposes. I could let the clients ssh over internet for the terminal sessions.
in short:
main site ------------------------------------------other site
LAN1 (192.0.10.0) ------ WAN (192.0.0.0) -------- LAN2 (192.0.3.0)
server here -------------------------------------------printer here
The issue that caught my eye is this:
192.0.3.0 (LAN) router has static route to 192.0.0.0 frame (WAN)
I just installed a NAS on the 192.0.3.0 LAN. I mapped a share from the NAS to a network drive on a pc. I started a image backup from some backup software we use (EaseUS Todo) to image the pc drive to the NAS share. Job running fine. Frame starts dropping print jobs. Frame drops hella pings. I log back in to the pc that is being backed up and KILL the backup. INSTA presto Frame (WAN) (192.0.0.0) comes back up and starts working fine again.
my conclusion:
I need to stop all traffic except essential from possibly leaking onto WAN frame (192.0.0.0) from 192.0.3.0 OR 192.0.10.0
AND by the way,
should this let me block all traffic except when from ports 9100,22,23?:
(following ip tables to be put in the 192.0.3.0 LAN router)

"Samba," I know, I know. However, I am a gov't worker and Samba is off the table. Does anyone have a recommendation for an off the shelf, secure solution? I've already suggested rsync and NFS services for Windows Server and got shot down. (4 Replies)
