normally, the one assigned to VPN server should
work.
Thanks
Robert, your help is really appreciated, which IP address? the church PC
seems to have several, there is the one on it's local network 192,168,2,X
then there is the routers public IP address assigned by the ISP, then
there appears to be a third IP address assigned during the VPN process?
Sorry if this is a naive question!
