To begin with, I have three or maybe four computers running Windows XP home
edition. Each computer has broadband access using a linksys  routers (either
BEFSR41 or   WRT54G) .

One of the computer is located in the company office and the others are
located at the employees' homes.

I would like to use the Network Connection Wizard, but the first thing it
asks for is the Host name or IP address of the computer you want to connect
to.

Now a couple of questions.

With the limitations listed above, do I need a Static IP address on each of
the computers?

What is Plan "B" if Static IP addresses are not availabel one or more of the
computers?

I have been working with computers since the bits were flat, but I am a VPN
newbie.
Thanks

HI RICHARD,

1. Check these two product pages:

2. To run ViPNet VPN, you need only one static IP for ViPNet
Coordinator or one PC with www.dyndns.org service.
3. There is a free demo version available for 45 days to try. So, you
can try everything, what you need in your environment, and if you like
it - just take it.

Alex
