Question
You are the network administrator for Company. Company has a server that runs Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003, Standard Edition as its network operating system. The network contains eight computers that run Microsoft Windows XP Professional. The primary software program that is used by the staff is a proprietary tax management application. A broadband connection is used for Internet access and remote access for the users to check e-mail messages and access company files. Because of the sensitivity of the data, the senior accountant accesses data regularly from remote locations. The firm wants to use a firewall for file server protection from unauthorized users. You research several hardware firewall devices to install on the network. You are interested in a simple device that does not require a complex installation. You need to choose a standard that meets the needs of the firm and requires the least amount of administrative effort. What standard should you choose?

Explanation
Explanation: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a standard that enables a network-attached device such as a PC, peripheral, or wireless device to acquire an Internet Protocol (IP) address and then, using Internet and Web protocols such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), to announce its presence and availability on the network. Remote Assistance supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to Traverse Network Address Translation devices. This is helpful on smaller, home office networks, as Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) supports UPnP. Incorrect answers: B: DHCP is a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and configure TCP/IP for network clients. However, this involves unnecessary administrative effort in this case. C: RPC over HTTP implies administrative effort insofar as you then need to make sure that the RPC service is running on all the computers in the network that has to be accessed remotely by the senior accountant. D: NAT is a technology that enables a local-area network (LAN) to use one set of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for internal traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic. However, this is not the option with the least amount of administrative effort. Environment, Microsoft Press, Redmond, 2004, Chapter 2, p. 23
