How to configurate Win2k users for VPN access

[fkwong]

My office has a DSL router that allows the VPN access without open new a port. Accourting to my router vendor, it is using the 'pass through" access. However, I need to know how to setup the users access in the Win2k server in order to do that. I am using Nortel Extranet client software for the remote access.

Thanks in advance.

Here's how I did it:

1. Open Network and Dial-up Connections.
2. Double-click Make New Connection, and then click Next.
3. Click Connect to a private network through the Internet, and click Next.
4. Click Do not dial the initial connection, and then click Next.
5. Type the IP address of External IP Address of VPN Appliance and then click Next.
6. Click Only for myself, and then click Next.
7. Type the name “CompanyName VPN” for the connection, and then click Finish.
8. The “Connect Virtual Private Connection” dialog box opens.
9. Click the Properties button at the bottom of the dialog box.
10. Click the Options tab and check the “Include Windows Logon Domain”.
