VPN bridge

Good day folks,

I'm trying to connect 3 windows machines on 3 different broadband networks
(A, B and C), which are in different cities, all protected by NAT firewalls
over Internet by VPNs.

Both networks A and C have a VPN access to network B.

Is it possible for machine A to have access to machine B and to machine C at
the same time, without having a direct VPN connection between networks A and
C, effectively using network B as a bridge between A and C?

I'm currently unable to ping machine C from machine A, but I'm able to ping
both A and C from machine B. Could it be a IPSec or other administrative
problem?

Sorry if this is offtopic... if so, can you please point me directions to
the good group?

Click to expand...

Only in larger situations with $$$ equipment designed to act as both a VPN
Server and a Router ( a "real" router or commercial grade firewall, not a
simple SOHO NAT Device). In your situation I doubt you have the ability and
will probably need a site-to-site VPN link between each
location,....effectively, a "mesh" type of topology.
