Re: Help configuring AT with XP and Crossover Cable]

Tim:

He hasn't mentioned anything about a VPN yet, so I'm assuming he doesn't use
one.  Also, if port forwarding is set up for some things on the corporate
router, then this configuration would firewall those ports back off at the
second router, but that's also unlikely.  Worst case scenerio, he could try
it and if he has any trouble, just go back to the way it was before and keep
troubleshooting.  If no trouble, then he just saved a lot of time - that's
the way I look at it.

My problem with that is that with the PC the wrong side of a private router,
he may have trouble getting access to some corporate resources on his LAN.
