VPN Server behind NAT

[xollox]

Here is my current setup:
a win2000 server system connected to a cable modem.
A small LAN also connected to a cable modem (seperate location).
The small LAN is comprised of 3 computers. One computer is used as our NAT. It has WinXPPro with ICS and two network cards. One computer is a WinXPPro workstation. One is a Windows .NET server beta system.

I would like to use VPN to connect the two lans. I can make a VPN connection from each of the 3 computers on the LAN to the win2000 server, but I would like to be able to make just one VPN connection and have that shared to the other computers. I want to be able to access the file shares on the lan from the win2000 server and vice versa. Also, I'd like to be able to host games on the lan and have the win2000 server system be able to join.

I've tried using RRAS on the .NET server and forwarding port 1723 to it from the NAT. I then try connecting with the win2000 server, which fails after it verifies the username and password.

Any suggestions? I'm new to VPN and I'm not really sure how this should be implemented. Thanks in advanced for any help you can provide.

HI xollox-

On your end you will need a machine that is Win2K/NT Server or equivalent with routing and remote access enabled and configured. You will then need to set up a demand dial interface on your server that will connect to the gateway (VPN server) on the remote network.

I'm not sure as to what that .NET server packs as far as OS is concerned. In WIn2K & XPPRO RRAS and ICS are mutually exclusive and I don't believe XPPRO has the flexibility to do Internet routing and demand-dial VPN routing.

Good Luck!
