Hi Group,

I am a newbie to network stuff and I am planning on setting up a VPN
between my broadband and my parents broadband connection to control
there PC (XP) using VNC when they need assistance. Quiet rare but it
will make life easier.

The main use of each broadband connection would be to use the Internet.

I am currently looking at 2 x Draytrek Vigor 2800 ADSL router to
acheive this using a ADSL 512 kbps Down/128 kbps link at both ends with
static IP addresses.

Each site will have a maximum of two computers and a USB printer.

I can see from the Vigor documentation that the VPNs support the
following PPTP, IPSec Tunnel (main mode), IPSec Tunnel (aggressive
mode), L2TP, L2TP over IPsec.

I am thinking of using L2TP over IPsec as that seems the most secure.

Here comes the confusion - usage of the routers for access not to the
VPN.

Can each site access the Internet as well from end point?
(That is my parents the client VPN connection goes to the internet from
there connection.)

Can I have NATed addresses onto the Internet?

Any good documentation around on this?

Thanks


Staurt
