Peer to Peer VPN Support
I've seen articles that suggest that we can configure a peer to peer VPN
using XP SP2. Does anyone have any information on that or is anyone able to suggest an alternative means of doing this. Look forward to your responses. SimonC |

Peer to Peer VPN Support
this may help. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
How to configure Win 2000/XP Pro as VPN host Prior to Windows 2000/XP Pro, you must add PPTP on NT 4.0 Server to establish VPN connections. With the release of Windows 2000/XP Pro, you have the ability to run a Windows 2000/XP Pro as a VPN host. However, Windows 2000/XP Pro enables only one VPN connection at a time and requires Internet Protocol (IP). Before you start the VPN configuration, you should have a equipment (modem, T1, Frame Relay, ADSL, or cable modem) connecting to the Internet. Also make sure you have correct TCP/IP settings on the W2K/XP. To setup Win XP (in our case) Pro as VPN host, go to the Properties of My Network PlacesCreate a New ConnectionsSet up a Advanced ConnectionAccept Incoming Connections. On the Devices for Incoming Connections dialog box, do not select any device, only click Next and check Allow Private Connections, and then click Next. On the Allowed Users dialog box, select or add all users for whom you want to enable access. The accounts have to exist on both computers that are involved in establishing the VPN connection. On the New Connection Wizard, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Client for Microsoft Networks should be listed as networking components. By default, Allow callers to access my local area network and Assign TCP/IP address automatically using DHCP are checked. If you would like to keep the default settings, click Next to continue. Now, the Incoming Connection icon should show on Incoming section under the Properties of My Network Places and is ready to use. -- For more and other information, go to http://www.ChicagoTech.net Don't send e-mail or reply to me except you need consulting services.

Peer to Peer VPN Support
Excellent stuff Robert, I'm most grateful for that. The same settings exist
on an XP Home client so I'll give it a whirl once I've got past the layers of firewalls that my partner has installed. Many thanks.
