I tried to set up a VPN on a PC running Windows 2000 server (giving other
users access to files on
this server) but I couldn't access it from other PCs. I set up the Norton
firewall to allow
communications, but no joy.

Any tips on debugging the problem?

Also, can I debug it by trying to connect to the VPN on the same server
(so that communications go
out to the internet then go back in to the same machine)? If not, my
biggest problem is how to try
things out, since I don't have access to another PC with an independent
internet connection.



Set up an external WinXP Professional PC to act as a Remote
Desktop PC. You can then try your VPN session from that
PC under an RDP session.
