Help! VPN Windows Server 2003

Does anyone have a short step by step guide for setting up VPN in a simple windows 2003 environment?

i.e. DC server, 1x NIC, etc.?

My idea was to setup RRAS with custom config and check VPN - if this will work, then what ports need to be forwarded thru the router to allow this to work properly?
Any help will be appreciated!

I have just setup on my SBS 2003 server so not sure if it is the same
Setup Routing and Remote Access on the server.
dont tick the box that comes up saying something about only letting VPN traffic through.

give it a IP range or setup the DHCP rely to your DHCP server.
make sure the user you are logging in with has Remote access allowed

Port forward 1723 (not sure if it is tcp or gre or both)
and allow gre and tcp through your firewall

hope that helps a bit
