Linksys Router with SBS question |
|
|
Hi all,
I have a some questions concerning using one the linksys VPN routers
with our network to anyone that have used these for remote office
connection. I am trying to setup a tunnel between the bosses house and our
in office sbs server. The main reason to do this is to setup a remote
backup system for a number of files at the office as a 2nd line of defense(I
already have a tape backup being used).
Now for the few questions I have.
1. Do I actally need to have a router at each end of the tunnel or can I use
the VPN in the server and a router at the remote location to connect the
two. What concerns me is does the router automaticly reconnect if the
connection is interupted(server reboot) which I guess would not be an issue
if I were using two routers.
2. Do any of the linksys routers allow me the ability to give internet
access only to a computer connected to the router. I do not to allow the
bosses personal computer to connect to the company network as he has kids
who like to play with the computer when he is not around.
3. Am I required to have a static ip at the remote location. From what I
have read I don't see anything about using dyn ip so I am not sure.
Thanks Everyone for the help...

1. You would need VPN Linksys Router at each end.
2. Any resources that the Bosses computer would need to access on the SBS
server will still need authentication unless you consider joining the Bosses
computer to the SBS domain which I would not recommned.
3. Yes, for Hardware VPN you will need Static IP at each end.

ISA Server needs two NIC's to function properly as a Firewall. But back to
your orignal question, I thought this was a Hardware VPN using Linksys
Routers so what does ISA have to do with this? The VPN connection between
your location and your bosses home location has nothing to do with SBS ISA
Server if you are implementing a Hardware VPN Solution.

I also suggest the RV042. I tried using the older VPN routers without
success, but our offices with RV042's on each end are working just fine.
