Hi I'm moving interstate in two weeks to start a new job, and have been debating whether or not I will take my SB1000 with me and try to set up a VPN from the new location back to here so the machine looks like it's still connected to the local network using the same IP address (so web lookups, email, etc. all keep working). Is there a simple way to do that? I've been looking at OpenVPN to see how it works and get an idea on how to set it up, but I'm not sure it will work with my existing network config without changes here. Currently, my machines connect into a switch, which goes to a Cisco 2611. From the 2611, another ethernet segments runs to my DSL router (a Dlink 502T), and that connects does the external DSL connection management. The DSL router is not running as a bridge - I haven't worked out how to do that and make it work properly with the Cisco so it does normal routing and packet forwarding between the DSL and the ethernet feeding into the Cisco. If I was to install and configure OpenVPN on a machine here (ideally my E250 as it has lots of i/o grunt), would that work with the existing network config to run a VPN off to my SB1000 when it's located in another state on a different DSL connection?
