2 sites on leased lines 1 on an ADSL, to link these sites meaning be able to access each others network the best way to do this is this via VPN? Hardware/ software? Anyone with excellent experience? C.

IIS? How is IIS going to help me with the VPN solution? Yes, you can use IIS in an "Extranet" and block/grant IP's/ sites but here we are talking about routing & internal network WAN no websites. I have decided to use SonicWall and it's excellent reasonable priced and very secure easy maintance and etc. It's pretty cool

Thanks for the links, I'll do it myself it doesn't look like there are many with the experience.

I currently have a few NT boxes and 2 with RAS PDC is on NT4. I at some stage would like Terminal Services added and was thinking of a new box but this time with a Windows 2000 Terminal Services CAL box and a few RAS links on the same box. Is this a good idea in terms of mixing the environment? All NT4's or should I move all to Windows 2000 Server? I hope to get away with just one W2K box now as the RAS/ Terminal Services, anyone with some good experience? C.

In a mixed environment of NT Server (later W2K)and on the client side Win9X/NT/W2K How can I make sure of compatibility? At the moment users have to each morning map up drives manually with domain/userid & pass to get connected as the system doesn't seem to remember them (sometimes I have to reset the pass). I guess the profile is wrongly setup? How can I make this to work I want them to logon onto "domain" but with the drives coming up as in a logon script without having to browse to the share/resource and then map it up. Anyone with a step to step guide how to setup the profiles correctly with users on a mixed platform of W2K, NT and Win9X, will I need a 3rd party software? Thanks, C.

Thanks for your reply & and time writing this. I have done all the above but I suspect the profiles are not right on the PDC. All Win9X's seem to be fine but W2K clients not. Uh... I'll have to look around.
