We want to send a ‘briefcase’ out to a remote meeting site that, with little or no configuration from the attendees, will connect them back to our internal LAN.
The idea was to put the attendees on a wireless LAN so they could share informationthen tie that back into our network so they could access email and server shares.
The ‘WAN’ connection from the hotel could be a simple phone line so it would be a direct call into the LAN with no need for vpn security. Or (hopefully) a connection via the hotel ethernet Internet connection in which case we want to use our Cisco VPN solution.
I’d hoped to be able to config a Win2K laptop using ICS. It almost worked too. I hit 2 snags; ICS wouldn’t pass WINS settings to the clients (still an NT domain). 2nd, if I fire up the cisco vpn client (even with local lan access enabled and firewall turned off) the ‘gateway’ machine can ping the clients but they can’t ping it.
Thoughts and notions would be appreciated.
