Setting up VPN for 1st time

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

In the incoming connection properties I can only see "Direct Parallel" ,
should I see some thing else?
No, unless you have modems or infrared cable connected to your machines,
then they woudl also appear, basically any media which can be used for dial
up would be displayed.

How to get the workstation to pickup the connection either on the LAN or via
the net
The check box in the incomming connection properties
"Allow others to make private connections to my computer by tunneling
through the Internet or other network" needs to checked. This will allow the
VPN connection to be established via your LAN.
