Re: vpn server in windows xp pro

I have used PPTP on an XP Pro as VPN host as a test (using the new
connection wizard to configure an incoming connection). As Jim said, the XP
(or a third pary) firewall can be a pain.

There is practically nothing that you can change in the config. I have
no idea if you can use L2TP or how you would configure it.
