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. :)
