Hello all, I am trying to make a VPN from my shop(XP PRO CLient) to my house (Vista Home Premium). It is my shop so I dont need to worry about being fired. I am running DSL at both locations, not sure if I have a static IP or not, that is what I am going to find out today. I AM going to get a static for my house at least. I just ordered a linksys BEFVP41 VPN router for my house. I know how to set up in the incoming connections, and have already done that. I keep a lot of my art work at my house and sometimes I need to access my home (because i forgot it...) to get the files I need. Is there an easy way to set this up? I was told that a hardware VPN is much easier than a software vpn. I am somewhat of a novice at networking, but it never hurts to ask the proffesionals. I hope I gave up enough information, but feel free to ask me as many questions about my setup to ensure I do it right. Thank you all in advance!
