IPCOP and Neobroadband Fibre configuration of Public IP's

[majikins]

Hi

We have Neobroadband Fibre installed and been given a band of public IP's for ourselves. We installed an IPcop machine v2.0.4(latest).

Created alias of one of our public IP's, and create a firewall port forward rule to forward to one of our internal Servers on RDP - (just to test mind you!) and there is no response.

Our setup is a Cisco router from Neotel which provides us with internet access if connected directly onto our network - dhcp is configured on this router. Now the IPcop box is between the router and our network. IP is static on the RED interface.

We want to enable open vpn for access to our network but there will be a future need to directly access one of our servers over the internet.

Can some kind soul provide us with an explaination of how this is done?

I'm using Smoothwall, but IPCop should follow the same set of rules :

1. On the IPCop box itself (command-line or via Putty) check that you've got internet connectivity, by pinging www.google.com etc.
2. If step 1 passes, open the web GUI, and go to Networking - Incoming
3. Add the following rule :
Protocol : TCP
Source Port : 3389
External source IP (or network) : blank
Destination IP : the PC hosting the RDP server/PC you want to connect to running RDP
Destination port : 3389
Comment : anything
Make sure it is enabled.

The host PC will also need to have the IPCop box's IP for its gateway.

Regarding PPTP VPN passthrough, I'm not sure whether IPCop will allow PPTP VPN passthrough as is, with Smoothwall v2 (and v3) you'll need to modify rc.firewall.up to allow PPTP + GRE passthrough, OR you have to install the Full Firewall Control mod, where you can add PPTP + GRE passthrough.

OpenVPN uses UDP port 1194. Simply follow the above steps as for the RDP port, but use 1194 and the UDP protocol instead.

I would strongly suggest getting in openVPN running on a Linux box. You can run this box virtualized if you want to. Have a look at ClearOS - you can use this for openVPN if you want to.

Do any of you know the 'admin' password for the Cisco SRP521w router that is provided by Neotel?

I've tried the default password which is 'admin', but the person that configured the device has obviously changed the password.

Let me know, thanks!

Why do you ask the same question in different postings ?
Why would you want the admin password - Thats a closely guarded secret

[Inflicted]

Why would the router password be a closely-guarded secret, I don't understand?

To answer your question... As the IT administrator of a company network, I would like to know all the login details to all devicess on the network. I feel like I don't have control over the network if I don't.

So does anybody know what passwords Neotel use for their Cisco routers?

P.S. Sorry about my cross-thread-posts.

You don't need that password.

They just don't want you to be privy to the PPPoE account credentials...

I've also got a Cisco 800 series, configured by IS. As Smoothwall is protecting the network, I'm not too worried from a hacking attempt from the Cisco device. And I don't need to administrate it, or even access it. That is not my worry, it's their worry.
