NOTE:  MS Technical support will only support connections to NT4 servers,  Though you should be able to connect to Netware.  Your server's firewall must be configured to allow VPN for it to work.  As far as details?  ?????????????  The resource kit might have someting.

a few of my friends and i want to link our computer together via vpn so we can have ipx support (not ALWAYS to play games).. i wrote a program that waits until you're connected (like icq's netdetect), logs onto my web server via ftp, modifies an existing text file with my ip address and time, and finally attempts to connect to any other ip address that are in the text file.. we're all using dial up connections so we all have dynamic ip addresses.. that's why it logs onto the other server and posts the ip's.. it also keeps pinging the server to tell the other computers that you're still conneted..

still, i need to have the ipx functionality which i assume can only be done through vpn
