Re: [General] VPN connecting two networks
Hmm, some WAGs...
If you have computers with XP Pro at both ends you should be able to establish a VPN between them. The one at the main greenhouse (let's call that PC "main") should be able to bridge from that VPN to the Internet.
The other PC ("remote") should then be able to see the Inteternet via its VPN connection. Next, put a second network interface card on that PC and put a VoIP ATA into that. You should allow that second NIC to access the VPN. This is sort of what's suggested for people living in areas that block VoIP, to tunnel through a VPN to another PC that has access to it.
This should give you two phone lines connected through the main's Internet connection, but I'm not sure what all of that would do for you. You'd still need an Internet connection at the remote end to make it all work, you could use your phone adapter with that line directly.
Do you want some sort of "inside" line? If so, Skype or FWD would likely be a lot easier. |
