Is it possible to run a VPN on the same machine as a Terminal Server? Or are the two services incompatible with each other? Both connections would be dialing into the same adapter\ip address.
Any help would be appreciated.

this is possible, but, can pose a security threat. in a previous company, we run in the vpn server, a terminal server running in remote admin mode. however, make sure you have proper firewall/packet filtering setup because the vpn server is exposed.use used isa server 2000. never run advanced terminal client (tsweb) because it can be accessed using port 80 which is a very common port and very hard to block with firewall (unless you wish to disable port 80 :P)

you can install another NIC and to protect yourself why don't you use a proxy server also so you have protection and not prob on dialing in the same adapter/ip
