From: Gord on 7 Mar 2010 19:56 Not 100% sure if this is the right group, but here I go. We currently use pcanywhere to remote connect to other PC's in our offices which are spread out between other locations. I have a spare PC in my office - could I set it up as a VPN server, connect all other PC's to it so they are accesaable to each other in "My Network" without routing all their internet traffic through the server? In a prefect world I would like the PC's accessable by remote desktop connection as well as plain old file sharing.
From: Bob Lin (MS-MVP) on 7 Mar 2010 20:17 The answer is yes. If the PC is server, you can setup VPN server so that we can access any PC in the LAN. -- 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 "Gord" <gordonrmac(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:379f0483-1b9a-4388-a4bd-893fafc619d2(a)g11g2000yqe.googlegroups.com... > Not 100% sure if this is the right group, but here I go. > > We currently use pcanywhere to remote connect to other PC's in our > offices which are spread out between other locations.

From: Gordon on 8 Mar 2010 06:45 But is the LAN definded as the local network the VPN server is on, or ALL PC's connected to the server? Would Windows XP set to accept incoming connections be the right choice for VPN server? "Bob Lin (MS-MVP)" wrote: > The answer is yes.

1. Or we should say any PC in the same subnet. 2. XP VPN host is peer to peer connection. After access the remote XP, you can access other PC from the XP using RDC. -- 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:1DF9686E-037B-4C61-912B-D422CC40BAAE(a)microsoft.com... > But is the LAN definded as the local network the VPN server is on, or ALL > PC's connected to the server? > > Would Windows XP set to accept incoming connections be the right choice > for > VPN server? > > "Bob Lin (MS-MVP)" wrote: > >> The answer is yes.
