I am new to implementing VPN, Can any one of u guide me success in this project.

My questions are

1. Mine is small home netwok with one Windows 2003 server and 4 clients, Dlink broadband router and modem. How many NIC cards I need to use in order to configure VPN on my server?

2.After mapping tcp 1723 & UDP 500 to my private server IP address, Am I need to put server on DMZ?

3. What phone number clients should use to connect to my VPN, Is that my Landline(because mine is broadband) number?

4.I am not using static IP can i run VPN server with dynamic IP(I can reconfigure my clients when ever my IP changes)?

I am looking forward with solutions from you people.

Thank you

1) Only a single NIC is required under these circumstances.

2) If you're using PPTP you don't need to , and shouldn't place the server in DMZ. Just forward TCP 1723 and GRE 47 (use PPTP pass through).

3) For dial up access, use the number for whatever line is connected to your POTS modem. If this happens to be the same line as your DSL, then in my experience this can cause reliability issues.

4) You can run your VPN using a dynamic IP provided you know what the IP is at the time you need to connect. A better solution would be to use a dynamic dns service such as http://dyndns.org. Some routers have a built in DDNS client or alternatively you could install one on your server.

Thank you very much for your response.

I am still confused about phone number to dial(clients to server) as my server is connected to ADSL modem.

we are having internet and land phone from same ISP so can my clients use my land number to connect to server?
