Thanks for the reply Todd.
I do have 2 NICs but have not installed RRAS (refresh me on this please) and
what kind of filter for my traffic to pass thru the external interface. I do
have it firewalled. Zone alarm for now. Also, I'm thinking PPTP type VPN.
I'm really hoping this helps you help me. Any and all suggestions are
greatly welcomed.
Thanks again,
Mrich
