LAN questions.

[Sara]

Hi everyone.

I setup a LAN at home with a XP pro, Linksys Wirelesee G router and
Windows Standard 2K3 server.
My questions are listed below.

1. I setup my linksys router 10.1.1.1 (act as a firewall.)

2. My windows 2k3 server is 10.1.1.201,
SM, 255.255.255.0
GW 10.1.1.1

3. My laptop XP pro with IP 10.1.1.51
SM 255.255.255.0
GW 10.1.1.1
DNS 10.1.1.201

It seems runs everything fine.

Windows 2k3 has a AD and called www.abc.com, and it is a DHCP and DNS server
as well. GC is in there, because of only one server at this forest now.

I can browse a LAN and internet perfectly. However, when I setup a VPN
setting as RAS.
I follow all detail from Mircosoft page, it ask for DHCP relay agent. I also
configure that, but when It restart the VPN service, then my server cant'
connect to my laptop and even the router. IS that routing issue ???

If i do the same, it works pecfectly for windows 2000 server, but not in
this windows 2003 server. DO i miss something here??

Your main network confguration is fine. Do not change anything in it and
futher confuse things.

1. There are different types of VPN for different purposes,...so what
exactly are you tying to perform and why? Details matter.

2. There are probably dozens and dozens of VPN related articles on MS's site
due the different types of VPN and how they are implemented. So there is no
way to know what article you read, and wether it was the right scenerio for
your goal, and if you followed it accuaretly.
