just dont forget - not only do you have to install all the service packs
for NT4.0 - but you have to install the 128 bit security update... -
maybe they changed this with SP 6? I dont know - but at one point you
had to do this.

since it is on a private LAN, what about a generic PPTP VPN? NT4
supports
it as does W2K.

Hi Guys,

I'll cut to the chase. I have a need to setup an encrypted connection
between two machines on a private (192.168) LAN. One is running NT4
(server
or wks) and the other Win2k advanced server.

I can (and have) set this up using a secure (SSL) FTP connection, but
this
costs $$s for the server license and cert. I have also been looking into
using MS IPSEC, but I can't seem to find a client\driver that will run
on
NT4. PGP is another option but I have never used this.

The question is, is it possible set up an encrypted connection between
the
two machines (NT4 & W2k) for little or no cost, and if so what method do
you
recommend?

Thanks,
