help with VPN options?

Sep 25, 2005 1 Replies

I want to set up a VPN from my home to my business. I want to be able to use an IP phone extension and access my network. Is there a hardware VPN that would let me have 2 IP addresses on 2 seperate network jacks? "one for the computer and one for the IP phone system" I have also been toying with the idea of a wireless bridge from my office to my home. But I have several trees that block a clear line of sight view. Im not sure how well wireless would work in that situation.

Hi James, Yes, hardware vpn routers can setup routed connections between 2 locations, so that all resources on each end of the link are accesible. Just make sure each end has a different subnet apart from the normal

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 - ie make the other end 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 I just posted a request for some low cost options to do just this. Simon
