networking with 2 servers,10 PCs, 1 Firewall, 1 Router.

[samadi9]

Hi folks,

I got a pretty interesting problem on networking... Please help me with this.....
..................................

Equipment:
 1 Hardware based firewall which acts as the DHCP (e.g Sonicwall Firewall)
 1 Internet Router (provided by ISP) + ADSL connection (without static IP)
 2 Win2K3 Enterprise Servers with CALs and Terminal Server Cals
 9 Windows XP or Windows Vista PCs
 1 Windows 95 PC
 There are 10 users in this company
 1 Access database with the company’s list of clients and their contact data located in a shared directory.

Requirements:
 The Chief Technology Officer wants you to build a network such that
 the Client Database resides on a mapped drive (M:\) for each of the 10 PCs
 Each of the 10 users need internet access
 Only 5 of the 10 users should read/write access to the M:\ drive. The other 5 should have read-only access.
 The contents of the M:\ should never leave our network (neither by copying it nor via the Internet (eMail, HTTP, FTP). Security of these files is an absolute requirement.

Explain how you would engineer this network to achieve the requirements (use diagrams if needed).

..........thankx in advance.
cheers
