Hi

I have many small remote sites that have Nt workstations running as the LAN server, setup with public IPs. I'd like to use PPTP to connect from my admin office to remote sites so I can access the databases running on their LANs.
Can you configure NT workstation to act as a PPTP server?

So then I will be able to just establish the PPTP connection to the remote site once installed, and then map drives to it's shares, that kind of thing?

thanks

Good,
I have setup a test system using NT workstation and it all appeared good, but I am glad to have it confirmed. Shame all of MS documentation seems to imply that you MUST be using NT server....

BTW could you please send me an e-mail if you've used this config before and know of any glitches I will encounter in use. I want it to map drives over the internet: ngrunseit@harveyworld.com.au
