I'm back with SMEserver after a long break. There was an issue with my mylex raid controller. I now use s/w raid1 with 2 250 Gig ATA's.
I want to be able to access the server from my laptop when traveling. VPN sounds to be the right way.
The server is in Server mode only and sits behind a Trend wireless/modem/router.
Laptop runs windows 2000.
Questions:
1) Which settings do I need set on the server? - I have set the user as a VPN client.
2) Which ports do I need to forward from the router in the firewall rules?
3) Will I need any additional software on the laptop or is the built in networking wizard sufficient?
Thanks for any assistance and suggestions.
Simon.

Hi,
A search on google found this:
PPTP uses TCP port 1723 to establish a connection. When opening holes in a firewall to support PPTP, one must be careful to not specify UDP port 1723 instead of TCP.
