Vigor 2900G VPN v XP Pro VPN v XP Remote Desktop

Which should I use to gain access to my remote office?

Can somebody outline the security pros/cons of the 3 alternatives.

Cheers,

Fred.

Not much to choose between them all.

I VPN to my 2600G as I can see all the network, using XP VPN you can
only access that machine.
I also RDC to the machine, which comes in handy.

Using the Vigor 2900G's PPTP VPN features you can then use XP's VPN
client to connect to your router and from there you've got a
connection to your home network.

XP Remote Desktop can be turned on, and a port forward enabled on the
Vigor to let you TS into your home PC from anywhere in the world.

So really you only have two choices. since you have the capability,
I'd definately go for the Vigor VPN + XP VPN combo.
