Connect to the Windows 2003 Server with Remote Desktop

Login to the Server.
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection
Click Properties
Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Click Properties
Click Advanced
Click the Options Tab
Highlight TCP/IP filtering and then Click Properties
Check the box labeled “Enable TCP/IP Filtering (All adapters)”At this point, you should select the TCP/UDP/IP Ports and Protocols necessary to operate the server. You will select “Permit Only” and list the ports or protocols you will permit to pass through the filter.

For example:

TCP Ports
20 – FTP
21 – FTP
25 – SMTP
53 – DNS
80 – HTTP
110 – POP3
443 – HTTPS
3389 – RDP – Remote Desktop Connection
!!!!IF YOU DON’T DO THIS, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE SERVER!!!!
8080 – Urchin Webserver
19638 – Ensim
8098 – TCP port for default-installed Web management

UDP Ports
53 – DNS

IP Protocols
1 – ICMP (Optional – Used for ping and other administrative packets)
6 – TCP
17 – UDP

Select OK, OK, OK, OK, then Yes to REBOOT

CAUTION
Failure to follow this correctly could require manual intervention to enable you to reconnect to the system.

NOTE

Ensim creates anonymous ftp connections for each domain and uses a nonstandard port number for each site starting at around 10003. If you will be supporting anonymous ftp on name based sites with these numbers, you will need to enable the tcp ports used by each site that will use anonymous ftp on name based sites.

Advice to people that have enabled the Embeded 2k3 STD Firewall is to take it down if they want to add additional ips to their boxes as the tcp-ip config is does not behave correctly. After you close it, add the 2 extra ips, restart and enable the firewall again

Get the adapter/computer to recognize the extra IP

Login to remote desktop

1. Start – Settings – Control Panel – doubleclick on Network Connections
2. Rightclick on Local Area Connection and choose Properties
3. Scroll down to Internet Profocol (TCP/IP) select it, and click Properties
4. Click the Advanced tab at the bottom right
5. You will see your current IP address. Click ADD and add the two IP addresses with the correct Subnet Mask provided with them by RS.
6. Click OK to all windows, and the network service should restart. If not, reboot. They should be assigned after that.

If you check the properties of a Site in IIS, you can find that IP Address listing has an (All Unassigned) tag to it. If you go to the drop down list besides it, it will list only one IP (the default primaryIP) inspite of the fact that your server may be multihomed. This forces us to leave each Site to (All Unassigned) Tag inspite of the fact that we may want to assign different IP’s to each.

Solution

Open the “hosts” file in the following location and add the mappings of all the IP’s to the servers name. Initially it will have only one mapping, that of the Primary IP to server name.

%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc

Add the new entries as follows

IP.IP.IP.IP
SERVER_NAME

Caution
1. Server_Name will be same for all IP’s
2. The HOSTS file has no extension.
3. It is not necessary to restart IIS.
4. If the listing still doesnt show up use the following on command line

Jingle is basically an extension to the Jabber/XMPP protocol, this is to allow for peer-to-peer (p2p) signalling, and thereby multimedia interactions such as voice or video.

It was designed by Google and the Jabber Software Foundation, and uses Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) for NAT traversal. The libjingle library, used by Google Talk to implement Jingle, has been released to the public under a Berkeley-style license.

It is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite which is mainly used by network computer operating systems to send error messages, it also differs in purpose from TCP and UDP and is usually not used by user network applications. One of the exceptions is the ping tool, which sends Echo Request messages to identify whether a host is reachable and since when the packets take to get to and from that host.
