How to configure Win 2000/XP Pro as VPN host
Prior to Windows 2000/XP Pro, you must add PPTP on NT 4.0 Server to
establish VPN connections. With the release of Windows 2000/XP Pro, you have
the ability to run a Windows 2000/XP Pro as a VPN host. However, Windows
2000/XP Pro enables only one VPN connection at a time and requires Internet
Protocol (IP).
Before you start the VPN configuration, you should have a equipment (modem,
T1, Frame Relay, ADSL, or cable modem) connecting to the Internet. Also make
sure you have correct TCP/IP settings on the W2K/XP.
To setup Win XP (in our case) Pro as VPN host, go to the Properties of My
Network Places>Create a New Connections>Set up a Advanced Connection>Accept
Incoming Connections. On the Devices for Incoming Connections dialog box, do
not select any device, only click Next and check Allow Private Connections,
and then click Next. On the Allowed Users dialog box, select or add all
users for whom you want to enable access. The accounts have to exist on both
computers that are involved in establishing the VPN connection. On the New
Connection Wizard, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) and Client for Microsoft Networks should be listed as
networking components. By default, Allow callers to access my local area
network and Assign TCP/IP address automatically using DHCP are checked. If
you would like to keep the default settings, click Next to continue. Now,
the Incoming Connection icon should show on Incoming section under the
Properties of My Network Places and is ready to use.
