How to Properly Setup A VPN Connection Using Netgear VPN Router and Windows 2000 Server

Zone: Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

Tags: vpn, netgear, router, setup

We have a Small office network which I would like to make it available through VPN, to run some applications which access database on a server and obtain Synergix licences from the server to run the application. Here is the description of the Network Environment:

5 Win2K Pro Computers are connected to a Win2K Server (which is a Domain, DHCP, DNS Server and has Active Directory set) through a Netgear FVL328 High Speed VPN/Firewall Router. The Router is connected to a DSL Modem for internet access. The Dynamic WAN IP address is tracked by DDNS service such as Tzo.com.
Two of our users want to access oand log on to the server from home. 1st user uses Linksus BEFSR41 router (which in turn is connected to the DSL Modem) as a firewall and has a Win2KPro operating System. 2nd user is directly connected to the DSL modem and has WinXP Pro OS. Both Users WAN IP Address is Dynamic.

My confusion comes from the fact that the FVL328 is a VPN router.
1. Does this mean I can use the Router as the VPN server and not the Win2K Server?
2. I mean if I it was for port openning only to access the W2K Server (which can be used as a VPN Server as long as the port is open), whats the purpose of a VPN Router? Am I missing something?
3. Would someone please clarify this for me?

Also whats the best way to establish this VPN Connection? And is it better to use the Win2K Server or the Router for VPN purposes?

Please help!!!
