setup a VPN connection from Win XP to a Linksys VPN router.

How do i set up XP to connect to a Linksys BEFVP41 VPN router?

I have used the VPN COnnection Wizard. it does not create a proper connection.

It is not an easy router to set up a software client connection to. It is more designed for creating a VPN between two BEFVP41 routers. One method is outlined in detail at the following site:

Thanks. their method requires special software and rather complicated configuration. is there any way to use just the normal XP Pro/HOme software? Also, is it really necessary to go thru that convaluted configuration.? i was hoping to write up a simple instruction to give to my end-users, so they can connect to the office.

BTW, if not the BEFVP41, would the RV042 be a better VPN server? others? Most of my DSL connections are all dynamic IP too. But i use DDNS.
