Linksys BEFSX41 vpn question

Hello,
I have problem here that i was wondering if the linksys router could solve. I have a server at LOCATION A. This server pushes a display to multiple workstations. These workstations are assigned internal ips from the router at the LOCATION 1. Now, i have one workstation at a remote location; LOCATION 2. In order for the workstation at LOCATION 2 to communicate it has to be assigned an internal ip from locations 1's network. First of all, is this possible? If it is possible will i be able to assign say, 192.168.1.106, where this ip address is of the remote location. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Click to expand...

well a better describition would be nice like...what program or waht is this router pushing display wise and what is locations 2's computer is it like a home computer

and also it IS possibel if you make this a Huge lan but you might wanna just set iot up like this



LOCATION 1(all comps conencted to a switch NOT a hub)
COMP 1
COMP 2
COMP 3

Switch-----Router



LOCATION 2 (VNC or connected to the router)

also BTW and IP address that starts with 192.168......is a Lan address

your routers ip (to go to the internet also with VNC) would be like 66.77.44.55

This help?
 
location 2 has no computer, only a "display." This setup is for a point of sale system.
Main location has 9 displays that we call workstations. These are touch screen monitors with a ethernet jack that communicates with the server. Nothing is stored on the workstation. They are running on a CAL service.

The second, remote, location has only one workstation. This is about 3/4 miles away from main location.

Locations are on different networks each with a unique PUBLIC ip.

"also BTW and IP address that starts with 192.168......is a Lan address"
obviously, i know what a lan address is, but in order for all workstations to communicate they must all be assigned ips from one LAN.

So, the issue is somehow incorporating the remote locations network into the main with a vpn.. possible?


"LOCATION 1(all comps conencted to a switch NOT a hub)
COMP 1
COMP 2
COMP 3"

already set up like this.
 
subbnetting

Subbnetting it like if you have

192.168.17.XXX

the XXX can be switched around to make diffrent subnettworks

just to make sure.....if anyone else here is a cisco or networking student make sure i am not crazy adn wrong writting what i am (just woke up)

so anywho unless your router is DHCP (which i think it is, this mean everything is automatically setup for you...ip addresses and what not) so any who for thos 5 stations/tv things say there ip addresses are 8,32,45,67,84 then just make the offsite one like 7 if you not DHCP enabled tell me and i can subbnet your network (or rather explain and do the math on the fourm)

anywho from this if you could ask and see if your router is DHCP and also check the Actually IP addresses preferbly the last two nummbers (dont write out 192.168)

GL :)
 
your not understanding....
the remote location is on a DIFFERENT network. The remote location has a SEPERATE router with a seperate PUBLIC ip. I can not just assign it 192.168.1.x and have it communicate with the other location. Both routers have DHCP enabled because they have to. all the workstations have to pick up an ip from somewhere. How can the remote locations pick up an ip if dhcp is not enabled on the router?

ah

oh ok

well...maybe if the application is able to do that which most can


sounds like you just might have to open up the right port by loggin in

(type 192.168.1.1 into internet browser)

hrmmmm anyone else have any thoughts?
 
Setting up a VPN is probably one of the biggest beeoychs of networking. They are all fine and dandy when the work :).

http://compnetworking.about.com/od/vpn/l/aa010701a.htm here is a nice tutorial I found on VPN networking. I'm not native to Linksys configurations, but I can tell you that the VPN server does assign a local range of IPs to the remote VPN client(s) which makes the remote computer think that it's "virtual" interface is part of the LAN from which it is VPNing to. Depending on what actually is the DHCP server on the LAN (the router or a dedicated DHCP server) you have to assign a range in which you want to dedicate to remote VPN clients.
