I'm investigating the idea of creating a low cost VPN between my own home
based LAN and a friend who has his own home based LAN. Each of us has a
router that connects to an ADSL connection, with the router plugged into a
LAN hub. The router I presume is using DHCP to connect to the ISP and get a
real-time non static IP address.
Each of our own PC's on the home LAN is using a an automatically generated
IP address, and as its behind the router, a machine on my LAN cannot find
ping a machine on my friends LAN.
My questions...
According to the vendor my router does support VPN connections. Is there a
way to expose a PC on my home LAN so that it can be reached by a PC on my
firend's LAN?
Is there any low cost software out there that can manage this requirement?
Can anybody recommend any sites that have idiot-level instructions for
setting up a VPN of this type?
