Hi,

I'm a novice to windows networking. I need to setup a VPN connection
between two of our office locations. Here is the scenario.

We have couple of client server applications running in LAN hosted on
Windows 2000 /SQL 2000 server environments. We would like to have these
applications accessed by one of our remote offices. Thought VPN might
be a good and cheap solution.

Win 2K server has dual Network cards. Card 1 is connected to LAN from a
router (netgear) and card 2 is directly connected to ISP. Card 1's IP
is in LAN 192.168.2.3 subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.2.1 (router)
DNS 192.168.2.3 (server itself). Card 2 has the static IP assinged by
the ISP with corresponding IP,Subnet,Gateway & DNS. This is the Domain
controller with DNS,DHCP & IIS enabled. All the workstations in the LAN
are connecting to this domain and accessing the applications from the D
drive of the server.

I tried configuring Routing & Remote access as described by Microsoft
guides on Network card 2,but didnot succeed. When I try to establish
the connection, I am getting the error message Couldn't establish
connection.

Then I tried to configure Routing & Remote access on Network card 1
with appropriate ports opened thru the router (1723,500,51 & 47
forwarding to the server LAN IP), but not successful.

Can some one please guide me how exactly I should be setting up the
VPN.

I searched google groups to findout a similar situation and didn't find
much info. I appreciate any help.

Thanks
Ash
