vpn in a peer-to-peer-way

[anders thoresson]

Hi,
I have two Windows machines, running 2000 Professional and XP
Professional, with xDSL-connections at two different locations that I would
like to connect via VPN. Is it possible to do this in a peer-to-peer-way
using functions built into Windows, like L2PT/IPsec? Or must one of them
act server and the other client?
What features must the firewalls at each location support for me to do
this in a safe way?

You can configure both the machines with Allow Incoming Connections and

select the VPN option
also.

Where do I do that?

You can use PPTP to connect easily from one machine to the other and vice
versa.

Not IPSec?

GRE IP Protocol 47

What's GRE? Never heard of it before?

Best regards,
