Hi,
Im looking to setup and old computer as a home server and I was also wondering if what I want to do with it is possible. Currently my connection goes as follows:
-Telus supplied router/modem that must be used
-Linksys router that connects to a VPN
-home network
What I have problems with is my linksys router not being able to hold a connection to my VPN for over a day. I go away and it fails everyday on my wife who then gets mad at me because she can't fix it. So what I have had to do is just
put my local network on my ISP supplied modem/router and nothing connected to my VPN.
What I want to do is eliminate the need for the linksys router and replace it with a switch which connects to (hopefully) a WHS machine that will be connected to my VPN of choice and then ICS to the rest of my network.
If that doesn't make sense this is what I want to do:
-ISP supplied modem/router with firewall
-WHS conected to my VPN then ICS to a switch/wireless access point for the rest of my local network
If anyone can help with my situation that would be great.
Thanks!
