Hi All

I was just wondering what needs to be done or what you guys recommend to do to create a secure link between two offices over ADSL. Both sites only have ten users in each site, Site A has a DC & Exchange server, Site B just has 10 clients no DC or server of any description. I need to create a secure link between the two sites for retrival of mail and to link to a shared database on the DC in Site A.

I was thinking of using a Linksys BEFVP41 at either end, but i heard that its better to use an independant dsl/router & Firewall (two seperate boxes) its more secure than a combo device or is that just overkill for my small situation ??

Also whats the best type of encryption to use with the VPN ?

Also can someone explain how NAT works with a firewall ? or is there a good site that explains it ?

Thanks in advance lads & lassies
