ok So I have 2 windows server 2003 runing in this test setup and manually assigned Private class Lan IP's to my network internally.

Server-1 Dns Server
Server-2 Nat/Vpn

server-2 has 2 Nic, external connected to Actiontec WT704WG Dsl modem/router.
Now first thing first...
what Ip should I enter on this external/Public site interface.
FYI: I don't have static/public Ip address and even if I use the dynamic public Ip from the router external interface, I can't connect to my Vpn out side the internet. Also what would be my default gateway on this external Nic.
I also tried opening up a port on pptp under my Nat/Vpn server but not sure which ip i will be assigning it here or is there any need of it.
One last thing Is my modem/router functioning as Nat as well, should I use this as in Bridge mode, but then I can't access internet from other machine.
Please please help I am going nuts thinking all of this and can't get answer out of it.
will really appreciate it for all your help.
