[karthikaravind]

please find the network setup of my company

ISP modem - 192.168.1.1
ordinary 24 port switch
2003 Domain Controller - 192.168.1.2 - ( domain name is abc.local )
12 XP workstations connected t0 switch(under the domain)
2 server 2008 workstations(not a domain controller). these are still
connected to abc.local
All the PCs have only one network adapter.

Clients are in a completely different country and different network
Till now not conneted even thro Internet.

clients in a different country wants access to one of the 2008 servers thro
VPN
Can we use the Routing and Remote access/VPN funtionality present in Server
2008 to establish connetion ?

Dont want to use any kind of Remote desktop sharing utility
I have also tried Logmein and Teamviewer products. They are not an option
for me now
any help would be greately appreciated

Sometime ago I tested Openvpn (www.openvpn.net) on windows 2003 domain
controller. I configured the vpn service in bridged mode. It worked
quite well. I dished out dhcp IP's to the vpn clients, and set the
domain controller to reserve those IP's via the dhcp service. You can
look into that. The net result was that the connected clients were
virtually plugged into the domain.
