hi

is it possible to network two macs over broadband using VPN?

And if it is how do i do it? Do i need to go through a third party?
Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial?

The computers are less than a mile apart and are both on BT Broadband and running the same OS (OSX 10.3.3).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you look over at VersionTracker or FreshMeat.net at all? Please do even a little research before asking questions.

Yes, it's possible.

What you haven't defined is exactly what you're hoping to accomplish.... WHY do you want a VPN?

I ask because I so often get requests for "this", when it's so much easier and better if you just do "that" instead.
