Creating a network

888 Views 9 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  crazijoe
I am looking to create a network using 3 computers running Windows XP at 3 different locations all using DSL connections which use dynamic IP addresses.

Can I use one of the computers running Windows XP Pro as a server and if so how do I assign a Static IP address to allow the remote computers to access the server?

Any help would be appreciated!

You will need to contact your ISP and have them give you a static IP.
What would you want the DNS service for. On a small environment it is usually unnecissary.
Actually the best way to setup a VPN is with a VPN appliance like SonicWall or Cisco Pix. They usually require very little effert to configure.

Also you may check with your ISP. I do know that with Qwest, if you request a static IP they will give you one.
