How hard is it to set up a virtual private network? My friend has
cable internet, so if her pc is on, it is online (usually). I have
dial up, so my IP is different each time.
A VPN is painless if routers on both ends can act as a VPN endpoints.
That's what I use. I haven't played with software VPN's yet. I do know
that one requirement for at least a router-based endpoint VPN is that
both ends of the connection have static IP addresses.
I remember someone on the list mentioning something about using email in
some fashion to do pretty much what I'm trying to do, except I think for
him, the remote location was the dial up.
Also, I setup fc3 on her pc, but I haven't gotten around to that yet
on mine. I still have rh9. I have a few stages to go through before
I can do the upgrade on mine.
You've gotta get away from RH9. For one thing, as far as I know, it's
no longer supported in terms of errata updates from Redhat. In fact,
neither are FC1 or FC2.
Like I said, I have a few stages to go through. Basicly I need to
safely re-arrange my partitions, among other things. I have the means
to do it. I just need the time to plan it and carry it out. But I'll
be done with that in the next few days (I think).
