Using VPN to connect lans in different buildings

[tgraves8]

I am tring to help a non profit group who currently have about 6 locations. Each location has any where from two to 9 computers. Each location has a dsl connection and the computers are all on the internet but they are not really talking to each other. I wanted to make one of the computers a server @ the main office for backups. Also wanted to create a domain w\ the one server. I don't believe this will be a problem at the main office, I am not sure how to connect the other buildings to the main office so that I could get the other computers on the same domain. I have read some on the VPN routers,

I am not sure how I would set something up using the routers so that the clients would not notice anything with the exception of having to log on to their computer.

Thank you for any assistance you can give...

How to Setup A Site-to-Site VPN Connection

To setup a Site-to-Site VPN Connection , you may need to configure two windows servers for the Answering and Calling Routers. Here are the steps:

1. Run RRAS, on Configuration page, select LAN routing.
2. Configure VPN on the Answering Router.
3. Configure the Demand-dial Interface on the Answering Router.
4. Configure VPN on the Calling Router.
5. Configure the Demand-dial Interface on the Calling Router.
6. Confirm the Remote Access Policy Configuration on the Answering and Calling Routers.
