I am not sure if Routing and Remote Access is available in 2000 Pro but for 2000 Server that is what I would use to create a VPN between 2 machines. &nbsp; Another way would be (this does VPNs from machine to machine AND network to network) to buy 2 routers from linksys that support IPSEC/TUNNELS. &nbsp;You could use those to link your machines and/or your networks.

Can I create a VPN between two computers running windows 2000 professional? &nbsp;Each computer is behind a broadband router: DI614+, and DI-704P and both support VPN pass through. Do I need software installed to connect the two computers?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
