Windows XP Pro VPN
----------
I am trying to set up a VPN Tunnel using Windows XP. I was using two Linksys VPN routers which worked great but now that I have Verizon DSL & FIOS I can't use those routers. So I thought I would try to establish a VPN connection with XP. My problem is this, I'm not sure what to enter when asked "Type the host name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer to which you are connecting"

The computer that I am connecting to is behind a router. I have the WAN IP address of that router. The IP address of the computer is assigned by the router. This is where it gets all fuzzy for me. Can anyone help me here?

I don't have a static IP address for the router, so I realize I may need to change that address in the connection settings if/when that IP address changes.

PAT or 1to1 NAT

You have to have a VPN server of some sort on that LAN or on that the router device you are trying to connect to, or it won't work.

Every VPN client reuires a VPN server of some sort.
