VPN configuration

I need some help with the setup of a VPN. This VPN has to be a PPTP
Here's the setup I am dealing with:
* Comcast SMC modem/router (currently used by client as only router)
* Cisco RV180 VPN router

Question is: how do I have to setup the Comcast router in order to install the Cisco VPN router
and also what is the best way to configure the Cisco RV180.

Thank you.

Tamas,
Thanks for the response.
Understood. So the Comcast router is doing the routing and the Cisco is just setup as a VPN server, correct?

I'm not sure about the capabilities of the Cisco, but I'm not sure if it can be used in a 'server' mode, like:

[users]--192.168.x.0/24-+-[comcast]----[Internet]
                        |
[cisco]-----------------+

Open in new window

I'm fairly sure you could get away with a chained setup like:

[users]--192.168.x.0/24--[cisco]--192.168.y.0/24--[comcast]----[Internet]

Open in new window

This would do double NAT, so it's a bit less pretty, but if the client wants that extra router in there...

TimotySt:
The client doesn't really mind 1 or 2 routers.
I am not sure if i can do it with the Comcast router alone, or can I?

TimotiSt

Well, does the Comcast provide VPN functionality? Can you provide a model number?
