VPN on 2003 SBS
I have installed a new server in my office and wish to configure / use VPN. I’m running 2003 SBS with a router and two NICS. I a little confused on how I should physically connect my NICs in relation to my router and my network. Also I went through the configuration wizard, but I still can not get through. I’ve tried Web access but still no luck. I know it’s probably something simple, but I can’t see it. And I’m tired of paying for “Gotomypc” service. I would like to get this going. If you could offer some advice or know where I get info on this issue.

What router are you using? Not all routers are vpn capable.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

It is a Linksys model BEFSR41. I have heard about issue such as that but I was not sure. I though it might be the configuration or lack of.

I've VPN'd through that model of router before for incomming connection. There are several ports you need to forward, can't remember them offhand (1700-1720 port range rings a bell for some reason but i'm not positive)
What i would do is get the VPN working internal first, then work out the router issue seperatly.

On your Linksys router you need to forward 1723 and GRE packets to the nic on the server that will be running RRAS.
GRE packets may also be known as allow VPN passthrough on that model of router.
Do you know how to configure RRAS on the server to accept inbound VPN?

I have been using Hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc/) to vpn to my Windows server at work from home. Works great. Install it on the server, install it on my home computer. Click "Create network" on the server one and give it a name. Then from home click on the "Join network" and bang, connected. And securely too I might add. It uses the 5.x.x.x range and creates a secure end to end tunnel. There is more detailed info on their website.
