Re: vpn probl



Hello Bill

If i have only 1 connection from the 2nd site for example the vpn it only
connects if someone from the 2nd site try to reach at someone at site 1
but and if someone at site 1 try to reach at someone at site 2?? it can't
because if i only have one connection - Site 2 ---> to ----> Site 1, isn't
right?
I need to both ends can initiate connections (this isn't a persistent
connection to save bandwidth).
About the other sites that i need to join, they all need to see eachother,
i'll connect all to the main office and then i think that they will be able
to see eachother.after configuring dns, wins, stabilishing trusts, static
routes, etc....
But if i put the staitc routes on routers on my adsl router as you suggested
i don't know how this will work... i've never tryed similar configuration...
Remember the vpn connection is made by rras servers not from routers.....

Obs(I still don't understande why my vpn remote routers can only initiate
connection from at site one, i'm sorry to insist but i would like to
understand what is causing this...)

Thanks
Best regards
