I run a similar setup, except that the network infrastructure is Linux based. It has been rock solid for a couple of years. I also have a link between my home network (Linux) and a Windows 2000 server using CIPE. This link is somewhat less reliable and requires occasional restarting of the CIPE service or even the entire server on the Win2k server. The Linux setup, by comparison, has been faultless. Your setup with Windows on both ends may fare better, but just passing on my experience. It's also possible you may be able to find a newer version of CIPE for Windows than I'm using, which fixes the problems (I think it's more a CIPE problem than a Windows one). I also found I had to use a dummy subnet between the two CIPE interfaces or nothing would work. Windows doesn't like 2 interfaces having an IP address in the same subnet. Just pluck something weird out of the 10.x.x.x address space or an unallocated 192.168.x.x network for this function, assign one of the CIPE interfaces .1 and the other .2 from that network. --- Outgoing mail has been scanned for Viruses Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
