Oh great VPN experts, I desperately need your help!!
We presently have a Netgear FVS318 router that is looking after the
networking for our small office network. We bought this router with
the idea that it would also allow remote VPN connections into the
windows network of our office. We purchased 5 Netgear Prosafe VPN
clients.
Now a computer consultant says that it is impossible to set up the
remote VPN connection into the network. Is he correct??
Here are the details ...
At the office we have a very simple configuration. One FVS318 router
connected to the internet. Out ISP has assigned the router a fixed IP
address.
All IP addresses in the office are assigned using DHCP by the single
FVS318 router. We do not have a Primary domain controller. All
computers are just members of a windows work group. The computers are
running XP and 2000.
While on the road, hotel networks and wireless providers typically
assign IP addresses using DHCP.
Has anybody had success in confuguring a Prosafe client to establish a
VPN tunnel so that I can join the windows network while on the road?
thanks for all your help.
