Thanks for the response!
So to use the software VPN in windows2000, I would just need to add an
additional nic, give it a different IP, then setup the router to forward the
VPN ports to the second nic on the server?
Standard windows clients can then connect?
Sounds too easy... ;)
I am reading about all the problems people are having, but it sounds so
simlpe. I will try this later and see what happens. Thank you for your
answers!
