Question
VPN setup
I have a windows 2003 server network. I have a database that uses a static ip address on 1 NIC. Basically this NIC cannot be touched.
I installed a 2nd NIC but don't know what to do with it yet.
I would like to set up a VPN connection using the second NIC.
Does the 2nd NIC need a static IP address? If it does how do i set it up to.
1st NIC setup:
IP = 192.168.0.50
sub = 255.255.255.0
dg = 192.168.0.1 (router)
dns = 192.168.0.50 (server)
(The server is both DHCP and DNS)
Can someone please give me step by step setup notes
Thanks

sorry but maybe i'm not being clear.
I have 1 windows 2003 server wich has 1 NIC with static ip address.
This server is being used as a hotel reservation database, so many people are going in to make reservations.
I want to use the same server as a vpn server using with a 2nd NIC.
What are the procedures to set up a VPN server? I need step by step details. Its frustraiting at this time because i've been trying and nothing is happening.
Here are three links that are extremely useful.
For SBS 2003
SBS 2003 R2 (like SBS 2003) :
1. Click Start.
2. Open the Server Management console.
3. Highlight the To Do List.
4. Click the Start link for Configure Remote Access (the third step) within Network Tasks.
Have a read of : http://technet.microsoft.c
and : http://articles.techrepubl
and : http://support.microsoft.c
VPN
http://support.microsoft.c
http://technet.microsoft.c
That comes from a VPN question I asked and had the best experts help with. Here is the question I asked. It may be for a SBS 2003 but the steps work for Windows 2003 servers.

Thank you for your answers but they still do not help me. I literally need a step by step approach to this. I don't know what i'm doing wrong.
Another look at my setup (this might be helpful)
Server 2003
External NIC used for internet and database retreival (main nic)
Static IP: XX.XX.XXX.XXX (internal ip: 192.168.0.50) - cannot use this NIC for anything else
sub = 255.255.255.0
DG = 192.168.1.1 (router)
DNS = 192.168.0.50 (server)
DNS/DHCP = ON
Internal NIC
IP = 192.168.0.51
sub = 255.255.255.0
DG = none
DNS = 192.168.0.51
Running the Remote Access/VPN Server setup wizard
VPN Access and NAT
choose which NIC connects the server to the internet - i chose 192.168.0.51 (internal nic)
automatic DHCP configuration
FINISH
Router (192.168.0.1)
DNS/DHCP = OFF
port forwared (1723) to 192.168.0.51
When trying to connect to VPN server from my workstation at home, i get error 721.
What am I missing?
I only have 1 default gateway which is my router and can only handle 1.
I'm trying again and now I'm getting an error code 721. It is stuck at "verifying username & password"
I feel that i'm doing something wrong with the NICs
Internet NIC
IP = 192.168.0.50 (SERVER)
SUB = 255.255.255.0
DG = 192.168.0.1 (ROUTER)
DNS = 192.168.0.50 (SERVER IS BOTH DNS/DHCP SERVER)
2ND NIC (INTERNAL NIC)
IP = 192.168.0.51
SUB = 255.255.255.0
all else is left blank.
On the router i forwarded ports 1723 and 47
In RRAS I set up the IP of the 2nd NIC 192.168.0.52
Is all of this correct? Can someone please help........

Yes, you need to setup the second NIC just like you have above if the server is a DNS server. Make sure you go into the TCP\IP properties of this server click Advanced then click the DNS tab uncheck register this connection with DNS because this will cause the server to have two A records which is a problem for DNS resolution.
