Being a complete newbie I am assuming that this is the place for my post. The scenario is as follows.
There are two separate network locations each with :
Linksys BESFX41 routers
Netopia 3347NWG modem
The Netopia supplies DHCP and does the routing and the Linksys is effectively a switch/hub.
My situation is that I am attempting to implement a VPN between the sites. To date I have had little success. All I have managed it to get the Security Authorisation without any response.
My thinking at this point is that I probably need to replace the Netopia with a modem so that the Linksys becomes the router and it will then be able to connect the VPN.
So my questions are.
Can this type of configuration allow a VPN ( The Netopia has no VPN option)?
or
Should I just replace the Netopia with a modem?
or
Is there another direction I should be looking.
All comments appreciated. :)
