WIN2K PPPT VPN
Hello:
I am trying to set up a VPN server on my WIN2K server that will allow users to connect with the standard WIN2k or XP VPN connection (wizard) within the Network Connections properities. I Had talked to someone who said that I just needed to setup PPPT in RAS on the Server, which I have tried to do, but not being very familiar with WIN2k Server Routing and RAS makes this a 'not so easy' process. When I go through the VPN setup wizard I get a few errors that I believe are caused by my incorrect responses in the setup wizards and there is one specific one about only having 1 NIC card. Do I need more than one? I am not using this server as a router, just VPN server, and IIS. I have a ZyWALL 10 router on my DSL connection.
Does anyone know where there may be some step by step instructions on setting up this server as a simple VPN server or can you provide me with these instructions? ANY help is greatly appreciated!

One more thing, you need to have a way for the server to assign inbound connections and IP address, 2 ways to do it, run DHCP on the server itself, or assign IP's to the VPN interface under RRA.
Just one more note in response to answer from RouterDude. If you filter out all traffic except protocol 47 and port 1723 your server will have no other internet access available to it, even ping other internet ip addresses. Depending on your requirements you may want to open other ports up.
I assume your talking about inbound internet access to the server, and not the server outbound to the internet. If the former, yes, if the latter, the router that is running the firewall will create PAT for the server to get on the internet. If you plan to run a website, email, ftp, etc, those ports of course will need to be opened up in the router. This should clarify what plittlewood stated.
Where in my zywall do i set up the PPTP Pass Through? In the NAT table or what??
And how do I Tunnel the intire IP from my VPN server to my Firewall??
