It would be done with RRAS on the 2003 box.
It will only run at the slower upload speed of the DSL,...so performance will be horrible unless the users "remote control" their office machines from home using Remote Desktop.

Hey all,

I need an easy solution to setup a VPN so 2 people can access the
network from home. I just want to keep it simple.

Here's what we have:
A windows network with a windows 2003 server
A Linksys router that does allow passing of VPN protocols (but is not
a vpn router)
A DSL connection

2 of the people here would like to be able to connect from home and
work just like they would if they were in the office.

What would be the easiest and I suppose most cost effective way to get
this to work?

Sorry this is such a newb question, but I've been reading up on this
and I've seen so many variations, that i've become confused completely

Thanks
Mark.




Keep in mind that its possible the Linksys router will only pass one VPN tunnel at a time. What model Linksys router is it?
