VPN on Win2KServ - Cannot setup RRAS only 1 NIC - error msg.

[benzguy777]

My Win2K Server goes through out Linksys BEFSR41 Router so the Server only has 1 Network Interface Card.

Here is how I setup VPN:
I open Routing and Remote Access console in the Administrative Tools folder, right-click the server and then click Configure and Enable Routing and Remote Access>Virtual private network [VPN] server. Click Next if TCP/IP is only protocol you will use. Select a connection you will connect to on the Internet Connection.

Problem is then I get to this point. My only choice is "No Internet" or the only Network interface Card of the Server. When I choose the '3COM' NIC of the server it says:

"You have chosen the last available connection as the Internet connection. A VPN Server requires that one connectoin be used as the private network connection."

Any ideas?

Install another nic (10$).

So to have VPN in a Win2K Server you really have to have 2 NICs?

One dedicated to VPN alone?

I think it will work if you choose "no internet", then continue on with the wizard....

it will but I will access the VPN server from my home via DSL.
