there's a MUCH easier way. just get ONE pc, run pptpd on it (PPPoE) of course it has to be Linux or some other UNIX (Fedora works well, there are RPMs for it). this is gonna be your VPN server. at each branch, just use the built-in VPN client of Windows 2000/XP to connect to your PPTP server.
QED. on the other hand, if you have a ton of Win9x boxes at each site get one of the Linksys BEFS41 firewall/routers (less than 5000 a pop) one for each branch. same old, the Linksys has a built-in VPN client. you still need the VPN server though. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
