How to setup a server with win 2000 server and set up all
end-users pc as wireless?
Should be the same as a wired network.
The network connection is something like this: ServerNetwork
SwitchWireless Access PointEnd-Users. The only special
configuration required is at the end-user side since you need to
install the wireless drivers + software.
Note: Make sure you are using an access point and NOT a wireless
router.
I am not sure why a company will allow wireless devices to connect
to a Windows Server but take note that current wireless technology
are not very secure even if all transmissions are heavily
encrypted. In addition, it is relatively easy for an attacker to
disable your network just by blasting powerful jamming signals from
a distance. Even if your network is down unexpectedly for just 5
minutes, it is still consider as a breach of security. If security
is important to you, I suggest you use Ethernet.
And if you are going to use SonicWALL Unified Threat Management
Solution, it means security is important to you. You should be able
to receive training to configure the device from the company who
sells you the solution.
In my opinion, you are going to have a weird network configuration
since to me: on one side, you have your network expose to attack,
and on the other side, you have a smart firewall that detects and
drop any packets in the "wanted list".
