I have a private office LAN (implemented using
NAT), where all users are networked together via
hubs and switches. All of us are connected to the
Internet via a broadband router/modem with a
single static IP address.
My boss would
like to access her office PC from her home, where
she accesses Internet via cable. She's on Win98 on
both her office and home PC.
How can help
her access her office PC from home? I've asked my
friends who told me using VPN is the best way, but
they can't tell me how exactly to implement it
either. Please help!!! |

Max,
Do you have any
firewalls or routers in
place on your office
network currently?
Are
you running Win2k, WinXP
or WinNT in your
office?
Her Win98
computer can't act as a
VPN appliance by itself,
however it is quite
simple to add two
inexpensive hardware
appliances (one VPN
appliance at the office,
and one VPN appliance at
her home) that can act as
VPN endpoints.
If you
don't have someone who's
comfortable working with
Win2k, WinXP or WinNT, I
recommend using a
hardware VPN appliance to
resolve your issue.
Go
to our hardware section
under companies and take
a look at the
Netscreen-5XP, SonicWall
VPN line, and SnapGear
VPN appliances. There
are other solutions also,
but these are a good
start.
cheers,
Dr.
