Virtual Private Network (vpn) Server Application

Post by Robertbeer »

Hi,
I'm looking for a VPN server application to use with Windows XP, does anyone know something?
I laready have a Cisco VPN Client.

I know i can do that on windows XP, but as the FTP service the windows XP is not the best.

Thanks in advance.

You can use the built in Windows XP VPN server capabilities. Just do a quick search on google and you'll find some tutorials, like this one http://www.zdnetasia.com/insight/networ ... c-1,00.htm

I did the tutorial but i'm having a problem, when i setup the incoming connections it disable my internet connection. I 'm trying to run this on my computer and i have a public IP address, i want to run a VPN in my computer like a Server(home) and loging from my laptop's office.

So that's why i was wondering about a third party application instead a windows XP option to run a VPN Server.

Thanks
Robert

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to access your home computer from work via VPN?

If yes, you really don't even need VPN. Just enable Remote Desktop on your home system. I remote desktop to my home PC from work all the time.

You need the SecurID card and PIN number to connect. The software itself is useless without those.

At this moment i use Logmein to access my files, but i am thinking to learn how to setup a VPN using software because i have some customers that this solution could work fine and in that case i need to connect many PCS or Users.

Thanks
