Afaik u cant actually set up a VPN internally in that router(I could be wrong). you would have to set it up as per usual through windows. The only prob with Running a VPN server on an uncapped line is the dynamic IP problem, its going to change daily, or everytime your connection gets reset...

The pasting of all that information was pretty irrelevent eh... ;p

Thanks.... I am setting it up through window server 2000. The client also has windows 2000 pro. On the client side what do I put in for the Host name or IP address of the destination. How can I get around of the dynamic ip.

yip, sorry. I just did not realise how much I did highlight.

U need to actually obtain the IP address of the server, not the internet network ip but the actually ISP assigned IP address. Then connect to that

Have a look at a product called Hamachi - http://www.hamachi.cc/. It may be your solution.

I haven't used it extensively, but I have set up a VPN between myself (MyWireless, Dynamic IP, Smoothwall Firewall) and a friend in the UK (ADSL, Dyn. IP, Zonealarm - i think), and it worked a treat.

hamachi is very cool to use, i use it all the time.... and no need to take IP address down to connect as you can just create a server and connect to the server name

Thanks.... before i go ahead & look for other solutions. I just need to know a little more on VPN. If a router has two ip address. One internal one external. The external ip address is dynamic by the Provider that provides the ADSL (Telkom) or the ISP (Internet Solutions)? To connect to the router in VPN I must put the router's external ip address on the client side as the destination. Is that correct?

get ur IP registered with www.dyndns.org. you can give it a name like a normal website, then u don't have to go typing the new IP all the time, just type the name of your "site".
