Out of my depth!

[GVP22]

Hello,

Here what I'm trying to achieve:

We need to access a system that requires ip authentication. Our workshop has a static ip address and thus can connect without problem. We also need to access the same system from out in the field, where only dynamic ip's are available. Is there any way to set up a VPN at our workshop so that someone in the field can use it as a sort of relay (i.e. the remote system sees access as coming from our workshop static ip)

I don't know if I've explained it well enough - and, as I say, I'm out of my depth here - but if anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

What are they trying to access a pc, server or files on a network?

It would be a web server on a specific port

Actually, thinking about it, there's no web content- so just a server. The data is sent via tcp/ip protocol.

Ok you could use Terminal Services or look at this.

logmein.com

I see that logmein.com is big on this forum. I am trying to do the same thing with my shop and my home. I am trying to go for a hardware VPN setup using a linksys BEFVP41 router and static address.
