I am not sure what you want to do. If you have location B VPN into location C and location A VPN into location B, you may be able to access B from A. However, there are two conditions. 1. You may need windows server as VPN server instead of XP. 2. You may need to re-configure the routing table. -- Bob Lin, Microsoft-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Gordon" <Gordon(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:280FC5F5-64ED-4D1E-B76B-FEE322468A8F(a)microsoft.com... > Each office location has it's own high speed cable connection > > "Bob Lin (MS-MVP)" wrote: > >> How does the location connect? >> >> -- >> Bob Lin, Microsoft-MVP, MCSE & CNE >> Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on >> http://www.ChicagoTech.net >> How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on >> http://www.HowToNetworking.com >> >> >> "Gordon" <Gordon(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:81557F0A-A8EB-450F-A31D-F68D3FE04D46(a)microsoft.com... >> > So if I have XP set to accept VPN at location A can PC's at location B >> > see >> > PC's at location c?
