Multiple VPNs from one IP |
|
|
I have an sbs std 03 server and want to connect a couple PCs from another
location with a static address. I have used the built in VPN connection in
XP, but after 2 connections, it takes multiple tries to get an additional
connection. I get error 800, but after multiple retry's it will finally
connect. Is this just a slow upload speed on the server side, or what? Is
there a better way to do this than getting VPN routers and doing a network to
network? The company doesn't have any money to spend at the moment to
purchase VPN equipment and this will only be a temporary deal while
construction is going on to enlarge the office. thanx in advance for your
reply |

VPNs can take a lot of bandwidth and have slow performance depending on what
kind of data you need to work with. While many routers will allow an
unlimited number of outgoing VPN connections, they limit the number of
incoming connections (many only allow 1 or 2 incoming connections).
A better way may be to use a terminal server (TS) at the office or, if you
only need a few connections and you have SBS 2003, Remote Web Workplace
(RWW). A TS requires an investment in another server + Windows 2003 server
software + TS CALs. RWW requires a separate WinXP Pro workstation in the
office dedicated to each remote user who needs access. These dedicated
workstations can be lower end machines (Celeron processors) with 512 MB RAM
and WinXP Pro. All processing is done on the TS or the dedicated RWW
workstations, which means that all data stays on the office network (for
better security and centralized backup/maintenance). Only screen shots and
keystrokes are sent over the internet connection (no actual data) so the
bandwidth requirements are very low compared to a VPN.

Again, this is a temp situation, only for a few short months, so routers, and
additional computers are un-needed expenses that we can't afford.

I have run into many Linksys routers that will not allow multiple outbound
VPN connections.
You can buy two Netgear FVS318 VPN routers for under $200. I highly doubt
the company does not have $200 on hand.
