1. Per my understanding that it is a software
2. There must be a configuration at the server side (VPN Server),
3. And there must be a configuration at the Client side (VPN Client)
4. Please give me your confirmation or explanation with your own experience (in production environment)
5. I am sorry I do not need the definition of VPN
6. I am waiting for your confirmation please (or i am sorry i will delete this question soon)
7. Thank you

I have some experience with Cisco VPN. At the server side we have a Cisco ASA firewall that is hosting the VPN server.
1) Say it , i do not concern with the Security Issue; so i do not use the Firewall at all
2) So there is VPN Server
3) My Question: i) First question: This VPN Server is a part of Windows 2000 Server or 2003 Server, right?(IF NOT, WAHT SOFTWARE IS USED?), ii) 2nd question: Could you briefly (or give me a link) how to configure this VPN Server?

Clients are using Cisco VPN client software
1) My Question: I do not have any question for this. I have installed a lot VPN Client to laptops (as long as we know the IP address, user name and password)

Thanks,
Tjie
