OK, I was able to connect to the server, but only after I turned off the worm-protection on Norton Antivirus 2005. &nbsp;I turned it back on to see what I could make exceptions to, I tried various things, like specifying an exception IP that was trying to connect, but it still blocks it. &nbsp;Does anyone know what setting changes I need to do to the worm-protection here so that the connection will occur?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

I am trying to set up a VPN server on my XP Pro machine. &nbsp;I went into and created a new network connection, used &quot;Set Up An Advanced Connection&quot;, chose &quot;Accept incoming connections&quot;, &nbsp;it ask for the connecting device and only LPT was listed so I did not select it, the I checked off &quot;Allow Virtual Private Connections&quot;, choose the username I wanted to use, and completed it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
1. Is that all I need to do?<br />
<br />
I tried to connect to the VPN and it would not connected, just time out. <br />
<br />
2. Any there any other special setting I need to use?<br />

How to configure Windows XP Pro as a VPN server

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
