I want to add VPN access to the existing network environment and need to know the recommended<br />
network connections.<br />
EXISTING CONFIGS:<br />
ISP: Covad T1 with static IP input to Samsung IBG1000, it has 2 Ethernet ports.<br />
Netgear 3500 Router: Acts as DHCP<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* WAN port connects to one of the IBG1000 ethernet port<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* LAN ports connects to CISCO switches then to PCs (XP, Vista, Windows 7)<br />
VOIP by 8x8 connects to the switch.<br />
<br />
PLAN:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* Add a Windows server 2003<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* Add VPN remote access for offsite users &lt;&nbsp;10<br />
What equipment needed to be added? and How to connect them together?<br />
Would appreciate your advise and guidance.

Setup VPN Access with Windows Server 2003 for offsite users

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

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.

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
