Couple of questions...thanks. 1

Ok...I have a couple of questions.

1. Are there any free clients that you recommend using to connect to a Checkpoint VPN-1, or should I use on of checkpoints client software... which I assume costs money? Example... I have a remote 10 user office using DSL, I need them to all connect to our office.

2. What is required to connect 2 seperate LANS that both have Checkpoint Firewall-1 and ability to add Checkpoint VPN-1? This is like a 100 person office that has Checkpoint already installed. Can I simply link the two VPNS as a solid connection?

That is pretty much it...thanks in advance.

Use the Secure Remote module on your VPN-1 CD. It is free to install all you want.
As for connecting two offices, that is the question I have posted currently as well. We are trying to Nat Private to Public back to Private going VPN to VPN and we are lost...

Yes, it is what is called a site-to-site VPN. You classify what traffic needs to be transmitted/received to/from the other LAN and they send it to the other VPN module via encrypted tunnel. The setup is a little different than a Client VPN which you are currently using. As far as NAT goes, you don't want to go private to public then back to private, when you just don't need to NAT at all. Setup your NAT not to NAT when sending/receiving to/from the other LAN. I could write how to create the site-to-site VPN, but how about I point you to Checkpoint's site where it is documented in great detail.
