Our network is Windows 2000 at the main office and NT at the branch office. Branch and main offices both have about 15 users. We are not presently connected except the branch office has 1 dial up connection (3com 1500 RAS) to get to the internet through our Main office T1 line. We have a Cisco 2600 internet router connected to a T1 line.
What is the simplest way to get a VPN set up between branch and main? I am planning to get DSL at the branch office. I have a spare Cisco 1700 router that I could use at the branch office, but I am not sure if you can use the Cisco 1700 router with DSL or not.
Will the cisco routers I have now be compatable with PPTP or L2TP? Or do I need to get a VPN module for my cisco 2600 internet router?Can I use Windows 2000 VPN as the server?
As you can tell I have a lot of questions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Preston
