Windows 2000 VPN

[Dave Jokumse]

Is it possible to enable and configure a VPN Server using
Windows 2000 Professional? if so, please explain how, ive
been trying for 7 hours now and clients cannot connect

 

[Doug Sherman [MVP]]

Yes, it will allow only one client connection at a time. Use the Network
and Dial-up Connnections - Make New Connection wizard. Select Accept
incoming connections <next>- if you want to connect to a network adpater
and it is not listed, do not select a device <next> select Allow virtual
private network connections <next> <next><next><Finish> to complete the
wizard.
