Re: Attempting to map a drive from home to AS/400 IFS directory

Allen, tell us a little more about your hardware and your ISP. Do you have a Cisco router/firewall? If so, I believe the VPN software is included with the hardware.

I have never setup a VPN

Is this difficult?
Is there an easy to follow document explaining the setup
process?


John:

The _first_ thing you need to do is verify with your ISP if
VPN is allowed for your account. Some ISPs don't enable VPN for personal accounts, but instead want to charge for a 'business' account or at least charge for enabling it. 

Setting up VPN will be _far_ more difficult if the ISP
blocks it and you don't realize it. (I'd add a "<g>" but it really can be something that doesn't bring a smile.)
