setting up VPN
----------
Hello, I want to set up a
VPN connection from home
to my office.
here is
my situation.
my
office has an ADSL
connection to the
internet. The ADSL modem
is connected to a router,
I can't recall the brand
of the router. will get
it if it is required. And
all other computers are
connected to the net via
the router.
I have
an NT 4 server at work
that i wish to setup the
VPN server.
Before
I go further, can I ask
whether this is doable,
without requiring me to
purchase any other
hardware/software
?
any help would
be much
appreciated.
Thank
you. | cmaisse

More informations
----------
Hi,
Which is your
router's trademark ? You
have to see and verify in
your router book that it
permits to manage
"passtrought" if not,
don't lose your time and
buy a new
router.

hardware
----------
hi, I've gone back and
checked up on type of
hardware and
connections.
The
adsl is an alcatel
speedtouch pro, with
firewall and
router.
I've also
called up our isp and
have been told that vpn
setup is allowed, no
channels have been
blocked.
My
problem is I'm not sure
how to route incoming
connection requests to
the internal vpn server
via the router.
Can
anyone help
?
thanks | wharbvpn

Re: setting up VPN
----------
1. Check if your Windows
NT4 "SERVER" has VPN
capability and if so make
sure that it is installed
and setup for VPN
'services' (not just
'client'). (NT4 SERVER
has this 'services'
function but WORKSTATION
does not.)
2.
After step 1, above,
setup a "User" account
for the new 'Incoming
Connection' or check with
your System or Network
Administrator to have
this and the above done
and ask to have it set
with the appropiate
permissions for the type
of user being
created.
3. As to
your router/firewall make
sure that it is capable
of handling 'protocol 47'
(protocol NOT port) and
using ports 1723 and also
possibly 500(IP Security
'IKE'). If it is then
you will need to set up
your firewall to pass
these ports
through.
4. Once
the above is accomplished
then it is recommended
that you update your
Dialup Adaptor or DUN
driver to at least
version 1.4 (can be had
from Microsoft
Downloads/Updates for
Dialup Networking) if you
are using Windows 95,
98OE or 98SE on your
client computer. (Windows
ME already has the new
drivers
implemented.)
5.
You then need to make
sure that your Dialup
Adapter #2 is set up
properly for the
protocol(s) that you are
using for the Network.
The Microsoft Knowledge
Base gives tips on how to
set the proper setting
according to what the LAN
is using at you Network.
If you are just using the
standard IP protocol for
both ends, just for the
connection, you should
not have much of a
problem setting up a
simple and easy
connection. (Use the
Windows Help for setting
up a VPN connection in
this case.) |
