Greetings;
The topography of my network is at
http://test.bachandbach.com/Visio-Network%20Topography.pdf
My forte is programming and not networking. Any assistance on getting VPN to work and clueing me in on what I need to obtain to make it work would be most helpful.
I want to allow one or more users to connect to my LAN using VPN through a DI-808HV VPN Broadband Router. I have attempting several tries using the manual which came with the router, the D-Link site and looking at a few posts in this forum. I'm not have good luck.
In the mean time I am going to attempt to tell ther VPN router to forward incoming packets for port 1723 to the specific box accepting incoming connections.
A specific question I have in this scenario, what is meant by a VPN Server? Does this refer to software on the box accepting connections or the VPN router or something else entirely? If its software on the box accepting connections is in built-in to Windows XP Pro SP2 or do I need to obtain a license for separate software?
Much thanks ... David

Mmmmmmm.....and you are just at the tip of the iceberg. When you get into serious networking there is as much to know about it, as there is server operating systems. On a scale of 1 to 10 I am a 2 but there are 9's and 10's here.
