Hi,

I've got two remote sites which I need to provide broadband internet access to, and provide one way VPN connectivity to our Head Office, the VPN tunnels will be terminated at at Cisco PIX 515R.

Previously when setting up stuff like this myself I've stuck to basic routers/firewalls etc. from companies such as Netgear and Eicon and left the setup of Cisco kit to our regular IT firm.

I had been about to purchase some Netgear kit again to do the above when I realised I could get a Cisco 827H with IP firewall feature pack for not too much more - and I'd obviously prefer the Cisco kit - however if I do purchase these I'll need to configure them myself which after reading the doc's on the Cisco site is starting to look a little daunting . And if I can't set the routers up I don't have the budget to get them configured (plus I'd really like to do it myself )

Does anyone have any tips or links or docs for setting up the above which would set my mind at rest?
