Hello
We have depolyed a Microsoft vpn for a small office using SBS server.
The users do a lot of travelling so do most of their work from home,
offices around the world, and from hotels.

Although we have been able to get the MS vpn working in 80% of cases
from home with a decent home router/firewall cable modem (such as the
linksys and netgear), most of the time when they are connecting to
alien networks either at a friends house or a hotel etc the vpn fails
to work in over 50% occassions.

This is not really an acceptable solution for the client, so I was
wandering if anyone can suggest a reliable vpn that works from most
places. I recently was reading about Ciscos SSL vpn which works over
https - maybe this is a better solution?

Thanks
Chris

        Netscreen (Juniper) SSL is way superior to Cisco's.
        It actually works.

My guess would be the network you setup at the office conflicts with the
subnet used at the locations where it fails.

If your network at the office uses 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/24,
192.168.1.0/24 then you are going to have problems with the default
network address space at many homes and hotels and many offices around
the country.

Try using 192.168.10.0/24 for your office network.
