Is ICS a possiblilty?

[brd24gor]

Hey everyone.

I work for a blood bank for which we have mobile units that we deploy for remote blood drives. These units currently register patients into our database with a laptop that connects via VPN with a cellular wireless card.

Here is my problem. We recently validated some software that will allow our donors to register themselves using touch-screens on TabletPCs. What I would like to do is somehow route the connections of the tablets through the cellular card on the laptop using a wireless access point so they are on the VPN. Can I do this with Internet Connection Sharing? Our internal subnet is 192.168.100.xxx if it makes any difference.

Ideally, I would like to setup a WAP in each moblie that would be hardwired to the laptop and wirelessly connect to the tablets. If I am way off here, I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
--Brad

installing VPN on ICS host may have some routing issues. What you need to do is modify the routing table. Check this sear page.

vpn issuesDo not install VPN on a system with ICS running ... The reason is that establishing a VPN connection on the ICS Host modifies the Routing Table on the ICS ...
