You haven't mentioned your budget which is a big factor. If you have a large budget and want to have a very stable network for enterprise apps then a Cisco 2621XM VPN/FW bundle at the hub site and 1721 VPN bundle at the spoke sites. If you want a cheaper solution manufacturers like Snapgear have VPN appliances available. You can use the IPSEC functionality in W2K for VPNs but I don't have any experience with it.

The problem you will have is the cable company can and will change your tcp/ip address. This will limit your options on connectivity.

Contact them and see if you can lock down a tcp/ip. This will increase your options.

Now call cisco and provide them with your system needs and they will provide you with protocall and equipment needed. Then you can shop for vendors and prices.
