CyberGenX 0 Posted July 23, 2003 I am using Windows 2000 Server and Windows XP clients. I need the XP clients to be able to remotely access the data on the Windows 2000 Server. The server has it's own IP address, static. What are the steps to successfully setup a VPN on the server and clients? What are the drawbacks in doing this? Help. Share this post Link to post

Drawbacks ... hmmm Login scripts dont work (batch, cmds, etc) Those links should guide you on your way. If you have particular questions feel free to ask. Share this post Link to post
CyberGenX 0 Posted July 29, 2003 Ok i am using just basic VPN, pptp, no firewall, and static IP address for host. It then gives the connecting client a 192.168..series to match the office network. So far clients can connect and use shares. But they complain of losing their internet connecting while connected to the VPN host. How do I fix this or is there a fix? Share this post Link to post
