Routing A Server through a Switch Possible???

[iwod]

I have an Wireless Router and a Computer Which Acts as Server and a VPN Client.

I dont know the follow is possible

Network A ( Connected to Internet ) - > Switch

The Switch Connect to BOTH My Computer and a Wireless Router.

My Computer will VPN through Network A, and act as Internet Sharing Server

Any Wireless Mobile Devices connected to my Wireless Router, will get Internet Access through my VPN Connection.

Is that possible.

What?


You want to share your computer's vpn connection with your wireless router?


(i'm not entirely sure what you're asking here.) But i will guess.. because no one has responded to you yet.


Your setup is as follows;

Internet ->
router ->
-> switch -> 1 computer
1 wireless router




Now you want the wireless devices that hang off the wireless router to use the vpn connection specifically to get on the internet..which is something your computer is creating?


If i'm understanding you again correctly..

This is possible only if the computer creating the connection..has a 2nd nic in it..that the wireless router hangs off of..then your computer could technically share out the internet connection.

The better/faster/easier/less complicated solution would be to get a router that supports VPN's...and use it to setup the vpn connection instead of your computer. Then you could easily accomplish this.

Unless your ISP is assigning you multiple IP addresses, your proposal won't work. Besides, everything on "Network A" will be connected directly to the Internet. Not a good idea for security.
