3Com® OfficeConnect® Cable/DSL Router / Product #: 3CR858-91<br />
I have this router connected at my office and want to be able to have remote workers connect to the LAN. &nbsp;I setup the VPN by enabling PPTP then entering an IP address pool with start and end address, then I added a VPN Connection: <br />
Tunnel Type=PPTP<br />
Tunnel Name=myname<br />
Username= myusername<br />
password=mypassword<br />
<br />
PPTP Type setting = PPTP Server ( my other option is PPTP client)<br />
&nbsp;this configuration works for one telecommuter. but when I try to add another VPN connection and enable it, I get an error saying &quot;Only can enable 1 PPTP server&quot;.<br />
<br />
So my question is how can I configure this so that I can have many remote workers connect at the same time? and with unique logins?<br />
Also another question I have is about the IP Address Pool for PPTP clients. my Office LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1 but when I tried to make my IP address pool say 10.0.0.200 - 240 it would not let me, I had to make the IP pool 10.0.1.200 -240 &nbsp;in order for it to work, so why can it use 10.0.0.200 - 240 ? <br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

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.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
