1) Go to: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Routing and Remote
Access.
2) Click on Action > Add Server (which will be your server).
3) Initiate the Routing and Remote Access Setup wizard and tell it you want
to set up a VPN server. Also tell it to enable a basic firewall on the
external interface. The wizard will ask you how to allocate IP addressing
information to VPN clients. You should tell it to allocate a pool from your
DHCP server (which should be located on another machine, avoid using the
built-in RRAS DHCP allocator unless you set this pool as an exclusion range
on your actual DHCP server).
After this you should disable or uninstall ZoneAlarm. At this point you
should attempt a remote VPN client connection and post back your results
here.
