From Home/DSL to Coporate
HQ
----------
I want to create a VPN
that includes my office
PC running XP Pro on a
dedicated ISP and my home
PC using Windows 98 on a
DSL connection. I know
that I will need a VPN
Router at home becasue my
office does not support
VPN and does not allow
remote access to the
network. However since I
can get out to the
internet I thought I
could at least set up my
computer at work on a VPN
to allow me to share a
personal database and "My
Documents".
Please
let me know if this is
possible, if there are
any restrictions
concerning location of
the database (it would be
on one of the PCS and not
on one of the corporate
network drives)and how to
set this up or where I
can get more
help.
Thanks! | SOS

VPN from Home to HQ is
Possible
----------
Hi there! After
purchasing a router, you
may want to use a VPN
Client software on the
computer that you want to
access from your office.
However,I advise you to
ask permission first
from your network
administrator before
doing that coz some
settings may not be
allowed (only the person
who has an administrative
access can do that).
Maybe you just have to
explain to your network
admin that you only want
to access one PC and not
one of the corporate
drives. | SOS

VPN Client
----------
Thank you. Fortunately, I
have administrative
priveledge on the Client
at my corprate
office.
In
summary, I need to
install VPN Client
Software which is
included in 2000 and XP.
Then put a VPN router at
my home
office.
Please let
me know if that is
correct. Thanks! | SOS

You got it right!
----------
You're
welcome!
Yes,
that's it! You have to
install a VPN client
software to your PC at
the office. And Windows
2000 and XP have that.
Setting up a VPN router
at your home office is
also correct. I know a
Linksys router that can
cater to that. It is the
BEFVP41 router. You can
check it on their website
at www.linksys.com. | cwinder

FVS318 by NETGEAR
----------
Another option is the
Netgear box, which does
all the Linky can do plus
it's cheaper has a real
firewall and gives you
four more ports to work
with. |
