I want to set up a wireless bridge from my office to my home. They are about
2 miles apart with trees blocking a direct line of sight view. I was
wondering if any of the wireless bridges on the market would work for thiis
type of install or if I should go the VPN route. Our network is peer to peer
windows 2000 machines, and my home computer is windows XP. Thanks in advance
for any help.

VPN, you could try wireless, but as a rule Antennas are more likely to work
with line of sight, not worth the hassle IMHO
