Browse All TopicsHi there,
I have 2 XP Pro machines that used to share a workgroup on a LAN and now have been seperated, - i having been moved to a remote location. I would like them to once again be able to share info in a workgroup by joining them with a VPN. They both have ADSL Broadband with a static IP, 1 via a Linksys WAG354G and the other via a Netgear DG834G v2.
Can anyone suggest the simplest way to VPN these together? I am willing to change the router at one location if it makes it a lot easier.
cheers,
Max.
