what do I need for a vpn
|
|
|
| I'm about to get a router. The spec says it supports vpn
pass-throughs. I'd like to be able to use vpn to connect to my home
PC (Windows XP) when away from home. I take it I need more than a
router - what else would I need? Clearly I am a novice in this area.

If you will connect 2 pc's with WinXP you don't need anything else....you
don't even need a router for that job...............BUT the server needs to
be
WinXP Pro.................I have never succeded in making a VPN server with
Home edition !!...............but Home edition is okey for the
client.........

| Thanks - I'm using XP Pro so should be OK. I also found that XP Pro has
some inbuilt interactive training that seems very similar to some of
the vpn info I've found on the web re setting up network connections
etc. My router should arrive tomorrow - can't wait.

| Hey Steve,
Why bother with the complexity of a stupid XXXXing VPN when all you need, is
WinXP Pro and a router where you use NAT to point port 3389 back to the
internal IP of your XP machine?
Save yourself the agro and heartache mate
