Re: Quick Hardware VPN Connection

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Cisco vpns require static ips at both ends, others such as the Linksys, do
not.

Hi,

Static at one end only is fine as long as the dynamic end makes the
connection or keeps it alive, using a dynamic dns service you can get away
with dynamic both ends, stability obviously depends on the frequency of
the address changes.

It would be great if there is a solution.

I can log in through a static ip address but not a though a non-static ip
address.

Ie: with a freedom2surf broardband connection I can, but with NTL, I
can't. (both UK)

I think you left a router out of your diagram, is SBS connected direct
to the cable modem or is there a router between? (sounds like there is
from your description)

If so, the VPN tunnel is being terminated on the SBS External network.

Are you trying PPTP or IPSec?

So this is what I thought a hardware VPN Would look like (I am better
at diagrams then writing):

Remote Location PCs
||
VPN Router
||
Cable Modem
||
INTERNET
||
Cable Modem
||
SBS2003 (Main office) (2 NICs)
||
Dell Switch
||
Main Office PCs

But from what I have read it doesn't work this way. I am trying to
connect my computer at a remote office to the SBS with full
functionality. Right now I am using software VPN and it isn't cutting
it. I have 2 Linksys BEFVP41 v2 VPN Modems. Can someone show me the
real way these devices should be setup to reach full domain
functionality?
