I have a W2K Advanced Server with one NIC and a static IP connected to a Workgroup. A Flowpoint 2200 router provides Internet access and DHCP service for the LAN. According to the ISP, they configure a port on the router that forwards VPN traffic to the W2K server. The remote clients are getting error 650. I have created user names on the W2K server for remote use. I have followed article Q308208 How To: Install and COnfigure a VPN Server and Q254316 Create a RAS server for a W2K-Based Server in a Workgroup. Both of these articles want to use a connection device other than the NIC in the server. Can I configure the one NIC to be the internet/external connection device?

Yes this is Possible You will need to Configure Your Nic with 2 IP Address

One for accepting VPN request and one for Routing on to your network.

For example

Internet Client => (Internet) =>[24.0.0.0 Router WAN Interface \ LAN Interface 192.168.1.1]
=> forwards VPN Request 1IP=192.168.1.2
Access to the local Network will be provided by the 2nd IP on the NIC)

I'm emailing you separately Chapter 9 of the Windows 2000 Resource Kit, which covers VPN. I think if you read the section on VPNs and Network Address Translation, you might find some helpful information. First of all, from this text it appears that if you're trying to use L2TP with IPSec, it just won't work. Also, apparently there are some specific things you need to do even when using PPTP. Hope this helps!
