   I regularly set up networks but haven't done anything but the simplest   
   third-party VPNs like LogMeIn.  The demand for VPNs is going up and I need   
   to learn how to do things.   
      
   Some references: web links or books would be helpful.   
      
   In the mean time, here are some dumb questions:   
      
   - can I set up a VPN between Windows XP clients through any variety of   
   Linksys or D-Link routers and NATting DSL modems?  If so, how?  Are there   
   situations or devices where this can't be done?   
      
   - assuming the DSL IP addresses aren't static, is that an issue and how is   
   it overcome?   
      
   - can this be done "from scratch" or is any special equipment or software   
   needed?   
      
   Thanks,
