I want to connect a two
offices together with
VPN. Each office will
have 7 workstations each.
I will be using DSL to
the internet via a
router.
The O/S's are
Windows 98, no servers,no
firewall app's,probably
just NAT; I want to
access beyond the router
to any workstation to
share files between LAN's
and do net meetings.
Could you give me a
couple of router choices
and list of other
issues/steps that I might
consider in the
configuration? | jssager

Do you have gateways on
both ends of your
networks? Soulds as if it
may be cost effective to
have the one VPN box at
one location and use VPN
client software for your
other users to access
remotely to the other
network. Saves the cost
for additional hardware.
If you have the two boxes
in place, they will do
your routing whether it
be clear text or tunnel
traffic. Email me you
have any quesions or if I
can be of assistance. | nextgen

Hi & thanks a bunch for
your help!
I am
going to break this up
into two scenario's so I
can keep
track:
1)-If I
subscribe to a DSL
Service provider they
will usually provide the
router to terminate the
circut on inside the
offices so yes I would
have a gateway on both
ends. So, in this type of
scenerio is the VPN
software all I need? Any
recommendations?
Configuring tips?
Thanks!
2)- In
the scenario you
described; sounds like
all I would need is a VPN
type router in office #1?
Will I still need to
install software on all
workstations in this
office or will the router
provide
tunneling,firewall
etc.?
Office #2-
All I would need to do in
here is install the
software @ necessary
workstations? How would I
configure the VPN Router
in office #1 to sync up
with the DSL router in
office #2 This will be
like a remote Access
(Client -Server W/O the
"server")right?
Thanks so much!

I supervise a 300 node
VPN network with both
Site to Site VPN
tunneling and remote
tunneling.
Example-
Say you have two offices
that you need to
communicate with each
other. Each office has a
DSL line. You can
purchase a block of
static addesses from the
LEC.
On one office you
have a VPN box. Gateway,
router,
encrypter/decrypter is
all embedded in the box.
The DSL router routes
your traffic to the
internet while the VPN
box routes your tunnel
traffice to the HOST or
PEER site ( other
office). IN your case,
you really dont need the
other VPN box. If you
have a DSL line and the 5
static IP addresses, you
can configure the PC's to
connect to the office
with the VPN box. They
can dialup to the
internet via a modem or
use the DSL line. We have
all Intel equipment and
software in my company.
If you have any questions
please feel free to email
me. It is a wonderful
solution. | nextgen

Yes I would be interested
in looking into your
solution(s). How do we
start?
Also is
there a thing as a VPN
NIC? I know Intel makes
an internal VPN Router
(Series 3200) but I have
been unsuccessful in
obtaining any info on
this item, can you help? | jssager

The VPN NIC that I think
that you are talking
about is a virtual nic
adapter that is installed
from your VPN Client. In
our case with the
Shiva/Intel product, the
VNic is installed and it
uses either your Dial Up
adapter or your Nic card
in your computer when you
connect to the Host
site.
Let me know
what steps you want to
take.
