VPN Server with One Public IP
----------
I have a Windows 2003 server directly connected to the internet with one NIC and one public IP.

I have been trying to set this up as a VPN server so that clients can connect to it and use it as a remote gateway such that all traffic goes out on that public IP.

I would prefer to use Windows VPN (PPTP) since that way all client computers already have the VPN client installed, but I would be OK with using OpenVPN.

I spend hours upon hours trying to accomplish this and tried several VPN solutions including the two mentioned above, but I cannot seem to get it working.

I have been led to believe that I need to setup a loopback adapter with a local IP address and enable DHCP and routing on that adapter. Then somehow set it to use the real adapter as a gateway to the internet.

I am pretty good with networking and TCP/IP but I have not had any success, so any help would be appreciated.

Thank s,
Simon
