Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 300434 contains the following summary:
This step-by-step article describes how to configure Windows 2000 to allow remote users to connect to your network, including how to allow dial-up connectivity through a modem and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.
The following scenarios are examples of how the client computer connects to a Windows 2000 remote access server:
• | Client computer <--> Windows server (Dial-up connection) |
• | Client computer <--> Internet (ISP) <--> Windows 2000 server (VPN connection) |
These scenarios assume the following configurations:
• | For dial-up capability, the modems are configured on the server. |
• | For VPN capability, the server has two network cards. |
• | For VPN capability, Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used for the VPN tunnel. |
• | For VPN capability, the server has a direct connection to the Internet, and is not behind any firewall or proxy servers, or is not running any program that provides these functions. |
• | No routing protocols are configured, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocols. |
