Connecting two offices

[Guest_imported]

Right now I have two Windows 98 machines running ICS (DSL connection) at two offices. Both have blackice firewall running. We have 5 static ips at each office also. I have a Windows 2000 server setup at the main office. I am planning on setting one up at the branch soon.

What I want to be able to do is connect both offices so they can access each other just like they are local.

So far I think I have to replace the 98 machines with server machines running NAT. And forward PPTP traffic to the internal server.

I was wondering if anyone knows any websites that has some case studies like this.. or that explain how to do it exactly.

You may email me also.

Thanks,
Deepak Jagannath

If you can set up a Win2K server at each site, you should take a look at
