Solve : Need help with VPN?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hello all.<br/><br/>I have two networks, Network A and Network B. These networks are, of course, separate from one <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/another-876628" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ANOTHER">ANOTHER</a> and are actually contained in two separate buildings.<br/><br/>Network A has a Windows Server 2003 machine residing on it. This machine will be set up to act as a file server. Users who are directly connected to Network A will have no problem retrieving or storing files on the machine. Network B is another story.<br/><br/>How do I get users on Network B to be able to connect to the file server on Network A? Can it be set up on the file server running Windows Server 2003? I assume this is solved with a VPN, but I don't know how to set one up.<br/><br/>Also, all users will be running Windows XP (and a few ME) on their client machines. Both networks are mixed with wired and wireless connections.<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/>EDIT: I am sorry, can this be moved to the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/networking-11466" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NETWORKING">NETWORKING</a> section? Thanks.Are these two networks in any way interconnected?Hello!<br/><br/>No, Network A and Network B are in no way interconnected.<br/><br/>At least not until I figure out how to set up a VPN.<br/><br/>Thanks!If there is no physical connection between the networks, you would either have to create one (physically <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/lay-540270" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LAY">LAY</a> a wire between them) or set up a VPN. If you want to setup a VPN, you first need to select a VPN program that suits your needs. Without knowing more about your networks or the traffic on them, it's difficult to tell you more.Hello again!<br/><br/>There can be no physical connection or wireless connection between the networks, they buildings they reside in are simply too far apart.<br/><br/>Can the machine that I am using as a file server also be set up to run the VPN? The machine is running Windows Server 2003 and I notice there is an <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/option-25810" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OPTION">OPTION</a> to set up a role called Remote Routing and VPN.<br/><br/>Or do you need a separate machine to do the VPN? I have never set up a VPN before and I may be slightly unclear as to what they can accomplish.<br/><br/>Thanks!There's quite a bit to setting up a VPN. Microsoft TechNet has a nice section about <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/vpns-14175" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VPNS">VPNS</a>:<br/><a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/bb545442.aspx">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/bb545442.aspx</a><br/><br/>Have a read through that and see if it gives you some direction.</p></body></html>
