Connecting Peer-to-peer network to LAN

by diaspar . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

Hi all,
As part of my ever expanding role as dogsbody I’ve been asked to gather information on connecting a branch office that runs on a peer-to-peer network to our corporate LAN. Having very little networking experience I’m out of my depth.

Currently the branch office has 1 user who connects to us using a Watchguard muvpn client to our Watchguard box on the LAN, and then remote desktops into a dedicated workstation on the LAN. The branch is expanding to 3 users who potentially will need to access LAN resources concurrently.

Do we need to install a dedicated server at the branch as our IT vendor is keen to push, or is it sufficient to install a secondary Watchguard box at the branch and setup a vpn link between the two? Are there other options?

Any help/ suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks
Craig
