XPe as VPN Server (Incoming Connections)?

[Kenneth R]

Hello,

I am relatively new to XPe. Is it possible to setup XPe as a VPN server as
with XP Pro? Specifically, I want to be able to setup the Incoming Network
connection. If this is possible, could someone please point me to the right
place to find which components need to be included when you build the OS?

Thanks!

Thanks KM! That should help us out a lot, at least with a starting point. Do
you know of a good site to look up the components in general to find
dependencies and which is required for any given service? I guess what I'm
additionally trying to find out the minimally needed set without everything
being trial and error - remove them until it breaks - methodology.

Thanks again,
Kenneth

Kenneth,

Unfortunately, there is no good source of information about Windows Components except Google and this very newsgroup.
In fact, this newsgroup archive (http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded/topics?hl=en) is a very good
starting point, IMHO.

There are also XPe forum supported by the product team as well as their blog. There are also some XPe MVP's blog pages that get you
lots of useful info about XPe components.

Dependencies of components you can explore in TD. But you may also find helpful exploring them with tools like DependencyExplorer:
