Finally a VPN manual that tells it like it is!

We are a small company that is deploying Windows 2000 as our VPN solution and had been having problems understanding all of the issues with the deployment. This book puts it all together and explains the whole picture of how the deployment should work. I particularly found the chapter of Proxy and NAT information helpful. I have NEVER seen a book the explains all of the issues and basic differences between different types of connection sharing devices.Also, the book covers about 20 different designs of how you can put together your network with both the tunnel server and the home LANs (a lot of my users have home LANs). It is neat how Thaddeus did not try to tell the reader how they should do it, but rather lists the advantages and disadvantages of each.I cannot recommend this book enough!Thank you.

Covers what the network designer can do

Substantial interest in VPN has been created by concerns for privacy and data protection. However, VPNs implementation in Windows 2000 is different than any other operating system. Microsoft is using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec all in Windows 2000 Virtual Private Networking and the configuration of both tunnel and transport configuration can be very complex. Thaddeus Fortenberry's Windows 2000 Virtual Private Networking covers what the network designer can do with this increased capability, new VPN features that can affect Active Directory replication, and network address translation. 408 pp.

THE book for Windows 2000 VPN

I reviewed this book before it went to press and thought it was excellent. I received a copy of the finished book and have already used it on many occasions to help configure Windows 2000 VPNs. This book is not for those looking to learn about VPN technologies, but for those looking to implement VPN services on Windows 2000. It provides detailed step-by-step configuration instructions and I highly recommend it.

A must read....

This book is a must read for anyone who needs to have a basic understanding of VPNs and a must keep for any administrator or designer intending to implement VPNs in Windows 2000. There is enough information to guide you through a full analysis, from security risks to alternative solutions, and all the way to obtaining a cost-effective solution.
