Configuring / Setting up Internet Sharing, Wireless Access point

[scottdavisuk]

Hi People,

Am a little confused at present as there is so much I want to do with my home network but dont know where to start!!

So heres hoping you can help!!! *

Ok...

I am running my server on Win2k server that is running DHCP, etc.. with a scope of 156.1.1.11 to 156.1.1.254 for clients and 156.1.1.1 to 156.1.1.10 is assigned for the server.

I also have a desktop pc, laptop and pda...

At present I have been connecting my desktop / laptop / server through a allied telsyn 24 port switch to share files and access my server drives from my desktop / laptop etc via a 100mbps cable network.... but since have bought a PDA I thought it is a good time to change things *

So what I want to do is the following:

- Share my broadband connection (NTL Cable) over my network
- Create a wireless access point so that I can access my server / broadband connection via my pda wireless card
- Create a VPN once my server is put online so that I can access my server away from home via pda / laptop

and finally I dont want to spend much money either *

Any advice appreciated!

Scott.
