timmmay Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 hey all i know someone who has a business making/selling furniture and they have a shop and factory which are roughly 15-20k's apart. What they want to achieve is they want to connect the 2 pc's to share information for their accounting software (MYOB it's called). The first thing that came to my head was to use a VPN...can anyone tell me if there's another method they could use to connect the 2 pc's? I thought about wireless but i don't know of any technologies that have that kind of range without line of sight. Any info would be appreciated also on what's involved in setting up a VPN as i've never attempted one before. Thankyou :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
