It depends on Company B's firewall, and how it is setup to allow IPsec traffic (or not). Theoretically, there is no difference between connecting to Company A via an ISP connection and connecting to Company A through Company B, except that Company B's firewall may not allow or be capable of allowing IPsec connections.

The user has needs to frequently access confidential records that belong to Company A, while on another company's network. The user also works onsite (with Company A's laptop) of another company, Company B. This company has its own network, unrelated and not tied into Company A's network in any way. How does the user access a vpn concentrator located at Company A while working onsite at Company B without logging on to their domain? The laptop has the cisco vpn client installed on it and the user uses it from home fine. But how does one setup a secure method of having the user vpn into Company A while on another company's network without compromising the data on the laptop? This is a real scenario, sorry if I am overlooking some obvious things, but I would appreciate any input on making this work.
