Hi,

Go into the e-smith manager, in the "Security" section go into "Remote Access"

Where it says Number of PPTP clients: 0 change the 0 to the number of clients you want to use VPN at any one time.

Save the settings.


Now on your win2K PRO side, go into network and dialup connections in control panel, and it will ask you how to connect choose VPN connection or VPN adapter, and then enter the IP address of the e-smith server, double click on the connection you just made, enter a username & password that is valid to the e-smith server and gateway, and hit connect.


That should be all!

Rob.
