VPN and Win2000 Pro

[TheLow1]

How many connections can you make? I saw the wizzard to accept incomming and make outgoing connections. Does it work, any body have it working??

When you're running W2K Pro, I believe you're limited to a single connection. W2K Server allows multiple connections, so I've heard. Once you set up your hardware correctly, the VPN works as advertised. The only trouble is knowing your DSL or cable modem sufficiently well to open the correct ports. The VPN between my computer and my business partner's computer finally worked after we got the ports and timeouts set...

One other thing, Microsoft recently set out tech news with some articles about VPNs under W2K. Take a look at these:

Maybe that'll help...
