I have established a tunnel using two Linksys BEVP41 VPN
Routers. What are my next two steps to allow remote access?

A VPN tunnel is a connection between your networks albeit a much slower one. If you
are not using wins servers or lmhosts files for netbios name resolution, you may not
have much luck seeing the other network in Network Places, but you should be able to
search for other computers/shares using unc and such. Assuming you are administrator
on the target machine you could start by trying to map to the default administrative
share across the tunnel. You may need to use ip address. The examples to use are -
\\computername\c$ or \\ipaddress\c$ .--- Steve

one.A VPN tunnel is a connection between your networks albeit a much slower
i stumbled across you answer and i was wandering, you state it is a slower
conection, is there a faster way of achieving the same goal? i have used vpn
in the past and run 2 diferen't ones (one linux one windows 2000 server)
and i have noticed they were slow too. if there is a faster/better way i
would like to know. ipsec doesn't seem to mesh well with win98 but if it is
alot quicker it might be somethign i would want to revisit.
thanks

Not really, unless you can upgrade your ISP service to a higher speed - particularly
the uplink speed. Both of my ISP's limit my uplink speed to 128kb - one cable and one
dsl. As a result my VPN works but is very slow. I use both an ipsec tunnel and pptp,
and there is not any noticeable speed difference to me. --- Steve

thank you for taking the time to answer, i see now were the slowdowns are
and understand it alot better now. and thank you for letting me know about
not having a noticable difference between the pptp and the ipsec. i think we
are upgradeing the second conection to a full t1 next quarter so maybe i
will see increase from there. agian thanks.
