What community or support option would best help me reconfigure my
companies
network. I have 7 offices in various locations with about 10 PC's per
location. At each location I have a typical network with a cable modem or
other high speed service, a wireless router, and usually a switch or hub
to
add the additional PC's. In the past this has worked with little or no
problems, save for the occasional downed device or virus. We are a high
speed internet installation company so I typically have someone in each
office who has enough savvy to troubleshoot and fix these type of issues.
Our network is used to transfer large amounts of data locally for shared
Excel files, scans, and shared Hardware resourses. WAN wise we access the
internet, send large e-mail, VPN into our customers site for dispatching
purposes and often remote from the field back to the office to access
information on our lan. The issue is that one of our customers changed
our
VPN access to a location that has the split tunneling turned off and
another
only allows VPN access thru a pre configured cisco 905 router. My thought
is
to install two nics in each computer, run two modems and two seperate
routers
and use one for the lan with internet access and one for the WAN. I am
really
not sure if this is the solution or if it will even work. I know that I
can
change the subnet of one card but i'm not sure how to access the internet
with the lan if i'm using my tcpip for the WAN? I hope i'm not so confused
that I sound stupid but any input or direction would be appreciated. The
customer that removed the split tunneling may give me the option of a site
to
site VPN access but I would than have to figure out how to set up a
corporate
VPN for sites to access that would than access their site.


If you have 7 offices with around 70 PCs in total, with VPNs
and various other advanced facilities then you should engage
the services of a suitably qualified systems administrator.
Trying to get free help in a newsgroup is unlikely to give you
a robust and dependable installation. Newsgroups are great
for giving advice for specific problems and perhaps a few
pointers. You appear to be looking for someone who will
design your system for you, free of charge.
