My company has our webservers located remotely, running NT4 and protected behind a Cisco PIX-515 firewall with a 10mbit/sec leased line.
Our office network is Win2K, protected behind a linux ipchains firewall and static non-NAT ADSL.
For easeof use by non-technical users, I need to setup a link whereby we can run SMB (or a similar protocol, suggestions?) over the internet between the two networks, but tunnel it through a secure protocol so that the SMB traffic is secure.
I have askedthis question previously, and been suggested systems such as pcAnywhere and VNC. I already use VNC, but it is not suitable for this purpose. The Cisco firewall appliance can terminate an IPSec tunnel, and I am sure that suitable software exists for linux. Would IPSec be a solution? Could we do it with SSH? (this could include compression)…
Suggestions…?
