Remote PC to small lan ?

I'm looking a different possibilities to connect a remote XP Pro laptop (on broadband) to an office 4 PC peer to peer lan.

Is a Linksys, Netgear, or Sonicwall VPN router along with client VPN software the best way to go?

Does the XP Pro IPSec client software work or should I investigate something like Linksys BEFVP41 coupled with Linksys QuickVPN client software?

Just looking for suggestions for limited access to an small office network.

I would thing the last one sounds better. It sounds like the tunnel would be established to the LinkSys. Then connectivity to the remote workstation could be established inside the VPN tunnel. This would allow more flexibility with the remote side.

I would suggest using ViPNet VPN software, not hardware.

you can set it up really in few minutes, good price (from $189) and ViPNet is selling a vpn clients/servers, not the number of tunnels, which make it much cheaper. In addition, you can always try it for free for 45 days!. If do not like it - just remove it anytime.
