Very Very New to VPN

[jammyjames]

Hi I am very new to VPN.

I dont know very much about it but we need to create a VPN between two sites. 1 (our main office) is in the UK and 2 is in Libya.

I was just wondering if you could let me know what I would need and where to start?

Thanks for your help.

You might need to give everyone a bit more information. Like what your hardware / software setups are at each site, and what you wish to achieve with a VPN.

Once you give us this, we can help you come up with an appropriate solution.

Hi,

Thanks for all of your help.

OK. Currently I am still setting up the secondary site in Libya. What I want to achieve here is be able to log onto an e-mail server and access a central database which is located in the UK.

The hardware we have in the Uk is a 3Com Firewall (Office Connect Secure Router 3CR860-95)

and a BT Firewall (Model 5861 Software version 5.3.181 Type 1 VPN)

The office in Libya is not complete but will have the 3Com Firewall.

We have a BT 1Meg internet connection.

If you need any more info to help please ask.

Thanks for everything.
