I'm having the worst time configuring my own VPN solution. I've tried everything. I've read all the MS White Papers, I've search the Net over and read countless articles, but nothing works.

My ISP (Roadrunner) as far as I've read from their info allows VPN communication (GRE and the like). I'm using Windows 2000 Server with RAS configured for VPN. I have a LAN with a Linksys router as the gateway from my LAN to the roadrunner network(Internet). I have two NICs in the Win2K server machine. I've tried to have one card for the LAN and one for the VPN traffic(although I've tried to route it through one NIC as well). I've changed the both the server and client settings hundreds of times, but I just can't get it going. I'm using Windows XP for client connections.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

J,
Are you NATing the Public VPN traffic through the firewall back to
your server? Does VPN work inside the LAN but not through the firewall?
If so you have not configured the firewall yet. Also remove the second
NIC That will cause you all sorts of problems in the future.
