VPN Incoming Connections, How Many?
Hello
I want to set up a VPN network. I have a DSL connection in my office. I have 3-4 locations that I want to connect to the VPN network which have a standard 56K dialup connection to the internet (actually 1 of these locations has broadband).
So what would be the best way to go about doing this.
The office machine has WinXP Pro and all others have Home Ed.
I heard you can setup VPN on WinXP Pro to accept incoming VPN connections. But how many simultaneous connections can you have (Is there a limit)? If WinXP Pro can accept more than one incoming connections how can I set this up using a broadband connection.
If the above is not possible. How else I can set VPN up. I think it would be possible with windows Server, but I want to keep cost down, and also the people using the office PC can't be trusted with windows server installed on that PC. But I don't mind investing in additional hardware if needs be.
