RE: Permanent Branch Office VPN

I have a customer that has 13 stores connected thru linksys RV series
Routers. however here is the catch. to do it we had to set it up to work you
MUST use single network card setup on SBS2003. it is extremely slow, works
great for auth. however if you are going to do redirection, only do Documents
Redirection, dont do Desktop or application data, also any group policy
changes must be updated manually using the gpupdate -force command

ps for this to work you have to be using firmware version 1.3.3 or later in
the router. if you have any questions feel free to contact me
