I would like to establish two completely separate networks within my home, and for security I would like them to be completely isolated from each other (not ‘see’ each other)
I’m a self-employed and run my business from a home-based office that I would like to have completely separated from my personal home network.
Currently, this is my setup ..
I have the Comcast/Xfinity, Technicolor TC8305C wireless gateway modem.
Connected to it is :
- My personal laptop, running Win7 Professional / connected wirelessly
- A dedicated desktop PC that I utilize as a home media center. This PC is ether cable connected to the internet and to my TV (netflix, web surf, dvd player, etc)
- A cable connected printer
- Android Tablet
- Android Smartphone
I have an HP desktop PC running Win7 Professional that I use exclusively for my business. I keep all my business files on this machine, and run Quickbooks Pro 2011 accounting software.
My bookkeeper recently moved out of state. What I would like to accomplish is setting up the HP PC on its own to where she and I both can securely access it. Her over the internet, and myself either in front of it or over the internet when I am not in the office.
What would be super special is if there would be no conflict with us simultaneously accessing the machine. I know QB doesn’t work like that (and that isn’t an issue), but maybe if I’m home working in general (running Office or CAD) while she is in Quickbooks.
This is not a priority since she will only need random access every month or so, but if it’s doable it would be great to be able to. She has the same version of QB on her desktop, so maybe in that scenario she would only have to access the company file .... ? ......
I also have the Cisco RV110W VPN that a friend bought me to setup for this purpose, but I have no clue what to do with it. (I can return it if it will not serve purpose)
She will not necessarily access my business PC from the same machine all the time, or from the same location all the time.
What I mean by that is, she has a home PC, a laptop, a tablet, a smartphone .. and she sometimes may have to access my computer from home, a coffee shop or on the go .....
I would also want to have access to the business PC from my laptop or android tablet (and android smartphone) when I am away from the home office ..
I would ideally like it to be setup with separate user names and passwords.
I do not know what setup is best for what I need. I’ve done basic research on VPN, Server, Remote Desktop (the learning curves are killing me) .. but don’t know enough to know which configuration is right for my circumstances ..
Priority is simple, and inexpensive. Yet very secure ..
