Hello,
Here's the scenario that I'm trying to implement. I want to know if anyone out there has successfully implemented a similar setup.
Basically, I need for 6 Win2K Pro PCs in a remote office to simultaneously connect to our corporate network via the Nortel Contivity VPN Client Software.
I'm thinking of buying a Linksys BEFSR81 router (which is basically a BEFSR41 router with 8 ports) and use that to share their DSL connection.
My question is: Does anyone out there know how many Nortel Contivity VPN clients can connect to the corporate network using this setup? I downloaded the Linksys BEFSR81 manual from the Linsys website and the manual indicates that the router should support many connections, but it doesn't specify how many. I also contacted Linksys tech support, and their tech told me that according to their lab tests the BEFSR41/81 supports a maximum of 10 simultaneous Nortel Contivity VPN Sessions.
In theory it seems that the setup will work, but I want to know if anyone out there has had any luck implementing a similar setup to back up their claim.
I appreciate any comments you may have on this,
Thanks in advance
