setting up vpn w/ win 2000 server
----------
I am trying to set up VPN between our two offices so our remote office can connect into our network.
I have a cisco 2611 router with ver 12.0T IOS and Win 2k Server at home office and have win 2000 clients at my remote site.

I have done some work with our cisco router in converting all our public ip addresses to now private addresses, but that is about the extent besides setting up the W32time server (NTP?) to get the time.

Anyway, here is my question. I am trying to set up the Win 2k server to be the VPN server as described at ms-mvps.com and that is all set up. I am not sure on how exactly to punch the hole in the router for pass through. I have found two examples but they don't really describe which way is correct.

On a website I read :

NOTE: If VPN traffic is traveling through a router or firewall, configure the router or firewall to pass PPTP (TCP Port 1723 and IP Protocol ID 47 [GRE - Generic Routing Encapsulation]) or L2TP over IPSec (UDP Port 500 and IP Protocol ID 50 [Encapsulating Security Payload]) traffic to and from the VPN server.

So if that is the case, would my command on the router be like with HTTP?:
example:
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.208.1 1723 64.217.xxx.xxx 1723 extendable
ip nat inside source static gre 192.168.208.1 64.217.xxx.xxx extendable

or

should it be:
access-list 110 permit tcp any host 64.217.xxx.xxx eq 1723
access-list 110 permit gre any host 64.217.xxx.xxx
?
My outside IP address is the 64.217.xxx.xxx and my vpn server is the 192.168.208.1

Also , one other quick question, do the access-list #s (110) have any significance, because I have seen a range of them???

Thanks in advance for the help
