    VPN and DSL connection ???

    Is it possible to establish VPN connection along with DSL connection that I have ?? If it's possible then I would buy Satelitte Modem and get ultra internet speed .
    Thanx

    If you have a static IP, then you can use a VPN to another static IP, yes. You need to have admin and routing control over both ends though, and you need to be running something other than Windows (because, basically, it cannot do it in any sane way).

    not really what I mean ! internet by Satelittle needs VPN connection . It encapsulates two connections including dialup . As I am sure dialup support this kind of connection . But I don't know about DSL ?

    I meant to construct one and keep it going even when the physical link isn't completely there.

    Otherwise you have to reconfigure and rekey everything for the new addresses.

    You probably do it differently. But in order to properly verify the remote host, the IP you connect to/from is also checked. When they change, everything has to.

    Unless it's possible to disable that (and take some of the security away in favour of convenience).

    Very few people have a satellite connection. They're expensive for what you get, and they're fast on downloads only.

    In mainland areas of the more "hi-tech" countries they're extremely rare. I saw a lot of people with them in Egypt though.
