Good day,<br />
I have just taken control of a company with two offices in two different towns. <br />
The offices are run independently from an IT point of view. One office has 8 PC's the other one has 6.<br />
What the grand plan is to do is to install a Windows Small Business Server in one office and link the offices togather so users at both offices can share the benefits of SBS. <br />
Both offices have an internet connection. I was thinking of installing a router in each office and created a &quot;Lan Profile&quot; to the other office.<br />
Has any body got any other ideas, budget constraints are an issue.

Good day,
I have just taken control of a company with two offices in two different towns. 
The offices are run independently from an IT point of view. One office has 8 PC's the other one has 6.
What the grand plan is to do is to install a Windows Small Business Server in one office and link the offices togather so users at both offices can share the benefits of SBS. 
Both offices have an internet connection. I was thinking of installing a router in each office and created a "Lan Profile" to the other office.
Has any body got any other ideas, budget constraints are an issue.

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.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
