Re: Basics, please!
since you are trying to use a VPN server, you must use the statics assigned to each device. ipmaps don't work well with a VPN server FWIW. you should just get a switch and hook the machines to it, and the switch to the 3220.
word of advice, use a firewall on each machine. with public ips on your NICs, you are WIDE open to the net. you can set the firewall to allow file shares ONLY from your other ips.

| OK, I'm a little disappointed that I have to stick with the static IPs (was hoping to save a little money), but I can live with that. The Cayman manual said something about being able to pass VPN traffic through but it did look complicated.
Anyway, so I need to code the static IP addresses into the NICs, get a 6 port switch and plug the 5 computers into it and the other port to the Cayman router, then set-up a peer-to-peer between the computers.
Sounds simple enough; not what I hoped for but do-able.
Thanks. | |
