You can allow W2K Pro to act as a vpn server, but for only one connection at a time
as described below.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;257333
To allow more users [up to ten to access file shares at a time] you could use an
vpn/ipsec endpoint device but it would require remote users to have compatible client
vpn software installed.
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=33-122-007&depa=5 --- vpn
endpoint nat/router. Netgear offers vpn client software.
I suggest that you do not use pppoe to connect directly to a computer. It can be done
for W2K also but the nat/router devices are so much easier to configure and offer
basic nat/router protection from inbound access attacks and have a built in switch
for internet access to multiple computers. --- Steve
