RE: Netgear fvx538 and Prosafe VPN Client

Please forgive me, I am the technical genius here "Administrator" and I
usually know just enought to get my self in trouble.

When you suggest, "Internet - NetGear - LAN and SBS" does that mean using a
single nic as apposed to my current dual nic configuration?

Also, some interesting info. I currently operate two networks on the premises.

One DSL service provides the internet for both networks.

Network 1 is a Win 2000 work group behind a netgear fvl328 vpn router.
Network 2 is the afore mentioned. Both Networks have wireless nodes attached.
So, I decided, to connect the two networks with a vpn between the two
routers.

So now when I have a laptop connected to a wireless ap connected to the 2003
SBS system it behaves normally, ie connects with all functions. When I move
the laptop to an area the connects to the workgroup, it can not connect to
the 2003 SBS system. However, if I invoke the "connect to a computer at work
wizard" while attached to the workgroup it does connect and all functions are
restored. This by the way is without using the microsoft "connect to small
business server". Yet when I try this off premeses "using the same wizard it
does not connect! bizzar huh?

Thoughts?
