   From: noreply@att.net   
      
   To begin with, I have three or maybe four computers running Windows XP home   
   edition. Each computer has broadband access using a linksys  routers (either   
   BEFSR41 or   WRT54G) .   
      
   One of the computer is located in the company office and the others are   
   located at the employees' homes.   
      
   I would like to use the Network Connection Wizard, but the first thing it   
   asks for is the Host name or IP address of the computer you want to connect   
   to.   
      
   Now a couple of questions.   
      
   With the limitations listed above, do I need a Static IP address on each of   
   the computers?   
      
   What is Plan "B" if Static IP addresses are not availabel one or more of the   
   computers?   
      
   I have been working with computers since the bits were flat, but I am a VPN   
   newbie.   
   Thanks
