Right now i have RRAS running as a internet connection share (NAT). Can you have more than one running at a time?

Bill

 

[MattWray]

If you have RRAS running. you will need to set up VPN first.

That has steps to set it up.
Do you have a router between your network and the Internet, or are you using a PC type router? Either way, you will need to forward VPN traffic to your VPN server. If you set up the PPTP, port 1723. If you use IPSec, I know you need port 500, not sure about others...

Matt, Bill -

Likely going to need to at least be aware of the potential for needing GRE with PPTP and the necessity of allowing AH and ESP (AH - authentication protocol, ESP - encrytption protocol) for IPSec, in addition to the UDP IKE (Internet Key Exchange) port 500 that you mentioned.

GRE - Protocol type 47
AH - Protocol type 50
ESP - Protocol type 51

Ok that all lost me lol... and as far as the router question... we have a router for our T1 and also our server is a router using RRAS for internet connection sharing. We dont need access to our individual workstations... just the VPN server so i dunno if we will actually have to forward traffic... im not sure about that though... this is my first experience with VPN.

Bill

 

[MattWray]

Well, is your server on the Internet with a public IP? If not, then you will need to port forward. What type of router do you have for your T1? Cisco?

Yes i have 2 NICS on the server. One is for our private network with the ip of 192.168.0.1 the other is for the net with the ip supplied by our T1 provider. Our router is a Cisco 1720 owned by our T1 provider so im not sure im allowed to modify it.

Ok, if your server has a public IP, that is what your clients will specify to connect to. Try connecting "internally" first to verify that the VPN settings are good. Then test from the house...

So basically set up on a workstation then if that works i should try it from home?

Bill

 

[cranebill]

By set it up i mean create a vpn client from a workstation.

Bill

 

[MattWray]

Yes.
