I am doubtful if this is even possible but maybe somebody knows otherwise. I have a PIX515e firewall with VPN protecting my internal network. I am using Cisco VPN Client at a remote location and successfully entering the network. What I need to do is to somehow share the Cisco VPN Client's connection with a Cisco 7960 IP phone, preferebly by plugging the phone directly into a NIC installed on the computer running the VPN Client. &nbsp;Is this type of configuration even possible?<br />

Thanks,<br />

How to share a Cisco VPN Client connection.

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.
