Step-by-step absolute beginners VPN Settings with Linksys ..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Hello

I'm trying to setup the network for our local daycare. For years, the
daycare has used Remote Desktop from WinXP Pro to WinXP pro with in-built
VPN. That was easy to do.

But recently, we overhauled our whole peer-to-peer network with new
computers running WinXP Pro. We have especially a brand new router with in-
built VPN the Linksys RV082. Unfortunately, the router's manual is not very
helpful in setting up a VPN. I read some websites and many newsgroup posts,
but I can't make it out of all this information.

Does anybody can point a good website or manual with detailled step-by-step
settings to create a VPN ? I already read
http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=86 but still can't make it
out.

DAYCARE-SIDE
8 computers, Dynamic IP (as strongly suggested by Linksys manual)
Router Linksys RV082
Broadband Cable Dynamic IP
DynDNS pseudo-permament URL/IP

HOME-SIDE
ASDL Dynamic IP
1 computer, Static IP


Can I just connect to the router from home and join the workgroup as if I
was another computer, and from then Remote Desktop other computers only by
establishing connection with their computer's name ?
