Hi all
I'm looking at implementing ISA 2004/W2003 RRAS to allow remote access to
the company LAN via L2TP/IPSec. The laptops are wireless enabled and running
several services including Remote Desktop without any 3rd Party firewalls.
This exposes them to a security risk where an intruder could gain control of
the laptop and then access the company LAN. Even with the "use default
gateway on remote network" option enabled it leaves the laptops open to
"unfriendly" access points and other users on the local subnet if used from
wireless hotspots.
e.g.,
if the laptop IP is 192.168.0.2/24, anyone on the same hotspot with an IP
on that subnet could potentially RDP into this laptop and is only a
username/password away from gaining access.
Is there any way to secure the XP laptop using the built-in capabilities of
Windows XP, ISA 2004 and 2003 RRAS?
We have considered using the XP firewall, however there does not appear to
be any Group Policy setting that allows central control of what is or isn't
allowed through it.
