External Access to services through WinGate

[1ahanco]

Hi,
I work at a school. What I want to do is to allow access to certain services on a server externally (Eg email access from a staff member's house).

What I want to know is how do you handle external access in terms of a wingate user. Our guest account is disabled so that access is controlled (ie you have to log into gatekeeper in order to access the internet within the school). However when I try to access a port (which is mapped from one nic to another using the tcp/ip mapping service) the external ip is getting denied and is appearing as the guest account in the system log.

I have some assumed users setup. My guess is that I should create a user that doesn't have rights to the location 192.168.0.*** (which is our internal network?

Any help is appriciated - I want to maintain a secure network, hence havn't dived in too deep!!

Gidday,

If email is the only thing that you need remote access to it shouldn't be a problem. Are you using the WinGate email server? If so then just set your client to use the mail server for it's POP3 server and your ISP's SMTP server for it's SMTP.

Regards,

Matt
