Hello, my name is Jason, and thank you for your help in advance.
I am a IT student and I am helping out my local church with their network and I have been asked if it would be possible to setup a secure connection between their main church network and their local op-shop network. As such I am wondering if you can help me work out the easiest and cheapest (if they are one and the same) way to setup a VLAN connection between these two networks. The servers at both ends are Win2k Pro.
Thanks very much for you help.

Are you talking VLAN? or VPN? I did the same thing for a company between to routers. I purchased two routers from CompUSA (linksys) with VPN. Cost me about $150 a piece at the time. Took me about an hour at each location to setup the router. Everything worked great.

Sorry.. I wasnt thinking properly when I asked the question, I am talking about a VPN and not a VLAN.
I have set one up via ISA Server before, but using that isnt an option for this project.

There is a way that you can setup a VPN server through windows 2000 server. You could do that, and then just setup a VPN connection on the other end, and away you go!

This will take you through setting up the server end of the VPN. The client end is pretty simple. Just create a new network connection, select VPN, and direct it to your new VPN server.
