Hey there,
I'm trying to set up a VPN for a new business. I've read lots of documentation but I can't find some basics
In the office we have a Windows Server 2003 R2 hooked up to a DSL Router via a network switch, as is 3 other computers in the office (all through the network switch). The Windows Server does have 2 NICs but only one is in operation at the moment.
I cannot figure out how to set up the network so that the Windows Server can be a VPN server, with an address accessible to the internet. At the moment the ISP issued router is using DHCP to assign addresses to all of the computers on our network, including the Windows Server. I would prefer it if the VPN Access were like my old university VPN (ala vpngate.net.ed.ac.uk) instead of a bog-standard IP address.
I would like to keep the network switch active so that if the server goes down the other computers in the office still have internet, but if the Windows Server must be the DHCP server, so be it.
Thanks in advance!
