Desperate Housewife Win 2000 Server vpn mess !

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Bob, thanks for the tips.
All, I do not have any previous knowledge of Server admin or setup. I may
need to further explain myself. Win Server 2000 NIC1(Internet) has static
public IP 81.138.119.225 with Gateway as 192.168.1.254 (I thought), NIC2
(lan) IP 192.168.1.10 static from Router DHCP without Gateway entered (I read
to do that). Vpn client is receiving same IP as NIC3 (ppp adapter)
192.168.1.73. When 1 Vpn client connects all other Vpn clients receive error.
I hope I have followed correct way to ask for further help.
Question. Can someone expand on Bob's tips especially the Gateway issue and
explain how to fix the IP and vpn setup mess. Thanks again in advance of
help. Debora x.
