Hello.

Setup:

Home: ADSL 4Mb service, Billion BIPAC 5102S modem, Linksys WRT54GL wireless access point
Office: Internet access (unlimited), Linksys WRT54GL wireless access point

Heres the question, not sure if this is possible, maybe I am talking rubbish:

Is there a way that I can surf the web from home but using the office's international bandwidth [the connection from home to office would then be local bandwidth only]? I see the Linksys supports dynamic DNS services, maybe this could be used to connect to the office network, but then how would I configure the office Linksys to serve pages to me home PC?

I know the question isn't clearly stated since its difficult to articulate. Hope it makes sense. Any help/suggestions appreciated.

thanks
 
Possible? Yes...VPN into work dependant on the hardware there ( servers or hardware VPNs ). Question is - do you have permission
 
Hello,

Thanks for the reply, no I don't have permission. Any other dieas?

Thanks
 
If you are unemployed "kiss that 4mb line at home goodbye" unless you have a trust fund :)

Internet is addictive , I know - we have an uncapped 4mb line at work, run saol uncapped at home which is super slow compared to the connection at work.

I have however been tempted and once ran a few downloads from rapidshare via work but like at 2am in the morning! and that's taking a chance!

NEVER download anything during work hours!

Even IF "work" allowed "workers" to VPN in the middle of the night , I think that they would be breaking the T&C of the respective ISP.

In essence they would be becoming a type of "ISP" themselves.

Plz explain this?
how does me creating a vpn to work and using their bandwidth break an ISP's terms and how does that make me a type of ISP?

There are a couple of aspects to this.

I spoke without being specific ( I sometimes get ahead of myself -- but I am not blonde :erm::D )

IF the *workers* connecting to the WORK network to access the INTERNAL network -- no cigar

IF the *workers* connecting to the WORK network to access the Internet -- Company Policy

IF *persons* connecting to the Work network to access the Internet -- ISP T&C


Does this make sense now :confused:

random "persons" connecting to the office through a vpn would almost certainly be "workers"., otherwise there is a serious problem...
which kind of makes ur third point invalid...

whether i am using work bandwidth through vpn or sitting at my work desktop is essentially the same thing, it does not make my work an ISP??
The issue here would be more of an am I allowed to vpn and do what i am doing (company policies)...
