RE: Help to configure VPN Connection



See inline:

I wonder if someone give me some advice on how to setup the VPN part of my
network.

Well, as you are running in 1 NIC mode you could install a hardware firewall
behind it and terminate the VPN there. More secure (you could use IPSec) and
fairly straightforward to setup if you have a couple of static IP addresses..

I have run the internet and mail wizard and got my mail and internet
working. I also ran the remote access wizard. We use dynamic DNS via
DYNDNS.org and I have loaded the update client on my server running SBS2003
R2.

Do I create the VPN server name as servername.domain.local or
servername.domain.co.za? Also is there any configuration that need to be done
on my DSL router or my wireless AP. Is there any other changes that need to
be done on ISA? I only have one NIC enabled, but there are 2 NIC's in the
server.

If you are using ISA with 1 NIC, then it's only being used as a cache for
web pages, not for firewall duties.
Configure your PPTP VPN with the same certificate as you would use for OWA
or RWW with your DynDNS service. What is the A record for getting mail to
your SBS box ? For example, I have an A record pointing
remote.mycompanyname.dnsalias.com at my dynamic IP. Mail goes there, OWA gets
there, RWW gets there and VPN gets there etc.. Run the RRAS wizard (and then
the CEICW afterwards) using the A record you created at DynDNS.
Your router needs to be able to pass through PPTP and GRE. Which router are
you using ?
The access point needs no reconfiguration.

My DSL router's IP Address is 192.168.0.1, the wireless AP is .2 and my
server's NIC is .20. There is a X-over cable between the router and the AP
and a cable from the server to the AP. The router have an always on
connection to my ISP

This doesn't really matter.

Is there any thing else that I need to have the DYN DNS point to my server
name and does the DNS pointer need to be an A Record?

Yes, see above.

Please can someone point me to the right documentation for this setup. I
have done quite a few SBS server installs, but this is the first time one of
my clients have requested to have a VPN configuration.

I do apologise for the complex question, but aby help would really be
greatly appreciated
