New VPN Question

[Rick]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

If I have a small business and have less than a dozen employees working
remotely and I want to create a VPN connection to a server for each of
them, what do I need on the client side and the server side to
accomplish this? What is the cost on the client side and server side?


Any pointers that you could provide or recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks!

It may cost 0.
Depends on what you have already.
If you have a windows server then you can use routing and remote access,
it's built in.
Clients don't really need anything to access VPN's, its a built in function.

Your router may even be able to handle it.

Need more details to be more specific.

I've been using the LinkSys RV series with pretty good results.
RV042 works fine if you don't need the PPTP and additional ports of the
8 and 16 port models.

You will need to turn-off or configure your firewalls appropriately or
the QuickVPN connection won't complete.

Good luck!
