Router or no router?
----------
I'm looking at trying to set up a VPN from my office to my home computer. At the office the network consists of a Sisco 675 DSL modem plugged into a switch. From there, there are 3 WinXP machines and 1 WIN98 machine running a P2P setup. DHCP server is enabled on the DSL modem. I've got a Cable internet connection and WinXP at home. Would it work to use the VPN server setup through WinXP, and do only that? What are the advantages/disadvantages of setting up a Router that has VPN capabilities? With (or without) a VPN router would more than one person be able to "tunnel" into our network at the same time (on a weekend both a co-worker and I at the same time)? Which would be easier to set up & maintain? Any info would be appreciated.
