Re: Point to point hardware solution

Let me add a few specifications to what I am trying to do.....

the remote office has 2 pc's currently the are using a cheap router to
access the internet.

1 pc in the office has 2 printers connected and a digital scale for
shipping.

When they turn on the pc they open a VPN to the server. Then they RDP to
the terminal server.

Like I said before It works /ok/ but my issues are sometimes the connection
is dropped. Also sometimes the printer mapping get wacked out ( session one
session two session three) so before printing from the office I have the
users send a test page to be sure the choose the right printer.

What I would to do is have the remote office router only allow the PC's to
connect to the mail office ( like a dial up networking) and join the LAN
then any outbound internet from the office would come into the main office
through the sbs server then to the internet.

When they logon SBS would authenticate the user and PC and pass all the
network resources to remote office.

Is this possible?

I have used the DFL-210 with DI-804HV's at the remote sites for this. I
only do this with very small remote offices, less than five PC's. With a
typical DSL connection you do not under any circumstances want to enable
folder redirection. It is also slow editing large multi page documents in
Word. Publisher documents are even worse. I generally don't join the PC's
in the remote office to the domain.

I have a remote office on a business class cable modem. Our main office
has 6 static IP addresses available on a 2+k high speed business fiber
cable network.

Our VPN between offices drops often. I have set it not to time out and
adjusted the MTU for VPN.

I am looking for an inexpensive non consumer grade VPN router to connect
the offices. I also need to figure out how I can use a different IP in
the main office for the VPN connection.

Any Suggestions?

Thnaks in advance

Kevin
