Set up VPN on windows server 2003

Butters · 5 Jul 2007 at 09:44

Hi all,

I have a windows server 2003 and I want to set it up so that employees who take laptops home can access the server (all files and shares with and even their exchange mailboxes (although I know they can do this through OWA too).

Every option in the RAS wizard moans at me about only having one NIC, and to choose manual configuration.

Is there a way around this and can someone help me?

Thanks

Cool,

Will any NIC do (by that I mean, I take it it would be a normal PCI Slot or similar)

Thanks

I've set up VPNs to windows 2003 on single network card servers many times. Never had an issue.

You will get the error if you go though the wizard, you can set it up manually in RRAS.

Can you help me with a quick guide or point me in the right direction?

Hmm, for some reason it didn't work. my XP Pro machine said it had connected, but I couldn't access any folder shares or email.
