hi all...
we have an existing windows 2000 server network with 10 clients attached to it, 2 of the clients are laptop PC's... the direcotrs of the company...
they both want to be able to connect to their office network from home and have all the same privalges as if they were in the office...
the office uses an outgoing 1Mb ADSL connection which is supplied by BT through a standard BT ADSL Router.... this is connected to the server which has proxy/firewall software installed on it...
Both of the directors have broadband connections at home also supplied by independant ISP's...
What is the best way to set this network up so that the directors can access their office network from home? VPN? VNC?
(theoretical question: If the directors laptops are assigned static IP addresses in the office network environment in order for them to be seen on the same network i.e. no DHCP is running), how then can when they are at home they access their ISP broadband services? because most if not all BB service providers require "obtain Ip address automatically" to be enabled....
Is any extra software on the windows 2000 server required in order to let them remotely access their office network?? If so any ideas about prices and what software names are good?
thankyou
