I'd like to create a VPN between an external machine (remote) and a windows 2000 pro machine on my network. I'd like to use PPTP to connect to the machine and the gateway being used is a BT 2Wire 2700hgv. The 2Wire router will be used exclusively for the VPN but the receiving 2000 machine will not be using it as its default gateway (although its possible it could be configured to use it) but it will be on the same network (subnet and domain). <br />
<br />
I'm struggling to understand the whole end-to-end process, or even if its possible. Any help would be greatly received. Also, i'm happy to make further information available on request.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance.

How do i create a pptp VPN terminating on a Windows 2000 pro machine using BT 2wire 2700hgv router

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.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
