VPN to Business partner

[mpemrich]

Hello,

I'm very new to VPN and I was wondering if somebody could help me find a solution for setting up a VPN connection between a business partner and just ONE machine located on our internal LAN. Currently I am using Microsoft's PPTP on an NT Server machine, which is what my employees tunnel in with, but this then gives them access to ALL internla resources. It's also important that the data between my comapny and business partner be encryted as best possible. I'm not opposed to purchasing a hardware solution. I currently have a firewall running on a Cisco 2514 which is our comapny's main gateway.

Thanks.

... Mike

I would just upgrade the 2500 to an IPSec feature set (if you don’t already have it) and use the VPN client software for the remote devices to build a tunnel. You then need to setup the 2500 to only allow the remote user to access the one server (via your access list). That should do it and it isn’t very difficult or expensive.
