I'm pretty new at this VPN stuff, so bear with me. I've setup up Windows
2000 server and my firewall (Watchguard Firebox) to allow VPN remote access;
I think I got everything right. My question is: when I setup the VPN
connection on a client computer, what IP address am I connecting to? I have
an IP address for my server, a default gateway address, a preferred and
alternate DNS server address, a firewall external address, a trusted
address, .... What do I use. Forgive my ignorance. Thank you in advance
for your help.
