Need help with VPN

zeebugger · 05-07-2008, 07:32 AM

Hello all.

I have two networks, Network A and Network B. These networks are, of course, separate from one another and are actually contained in two separate buildings. They are in no way interconnected.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks!
