I have a W2K server driving a small LAN (4 PCs). The server has 2 NICs installed; NIC 1 is plugged into a DSL modem/router with 4-port switch for internet access. The DSL modem/router has a DHCP server built in and provides NIC 1 with an IP address (192.168.7.xxx). NIC 2 is configured with a static IP address (10.10.1.1) and is connected to an 8-port switch. The other PCs on the LAN are connected to the 8-port switch, and get their IP addresses from the DHCP server running on the W2K server. The DSL modem is also plugged into the 8-port switch so that the rest of the LAN can access the internet.The DSL modem also has NAT running, but I find that the other PCs on the LAN cannot access the internet unless I also install NAT through the W2K RRAS.
I need to be able to access the W2K server and LAN, so I want to set up a VPN connection. I’ve set up the W2K server for VPN, but I am unable to make a connection. The VPN client runs Windows XP.
Can someone help me with this?
