Remote users via VPN

I have a small 4pc LAN at my main office. All pc's are
running WinXP Pro, are networked with a Linksys BEFSR41
router and connect to the internet through DSL with a
static IP address. I would like to connect 2 remote users
(#2 & #3) (seperate locations, both running WinXP Pro) to
one of the PC's (#1) at the main office which has shared
multi user programs. I am Makeing the #1 pc a VPN server
and will be making the #2 & #3 pc's VPN clients.
How do I add them to the #1 pc as users so that the can be
added to user permissions in the VPN server wizard?
Thanks
Andy

You will need to create user accounts with the same logon
name and password on the #1 PC.

You will also need to allow VPN traffic through the
router. If you are using PPTP as your tunnelling
protocol (most likely) you need to forward traffic on TCP
Port 1723 to #1 PC (If you are using L2TP it would be
Port 1701).

Hope this helps

Also make sure you enable "PPTP Pass Through" on the Filters page for PPTP VPN.
