Hi all...Ok..long post...but please bear with me. Here's the deal: I am having problem setting up a VPN
connection using PPTP tunneling protocol.First of all, let me give you an overview of what my home network
setup looks like.

I have a Windows 2003 Server as a DC,DNS,and DHCP server. It has one NIC with a private IP
of 192.168.1.100. This NIC is connected to my Linksys Wireless Access Point(for WiFI connection around the
house). THe IP of the Linksys is 192.168.1.10. This WAP is connected to my VPN/NAT Server. The
VPN/NAT server is an old PC running WIndows 2003 Server with 2 NIC - one private and one public.
I have already setup VPN/NAT configuration for this machine in the Routing and Remote Access Console.
My VPN/NAT Server's public NIC is connected to a cable modem and it is getting a dynamic IP. I made
a note of this IP and it hasn't change a long time--might as well be static. This public IP
is 24.x.x.x

SO everything is fine as far as VPN Server connection is concern. Now on the Domain COntroller machine,
I create a user 'John Doe' and on his dial-in property, I check "ALLOW Acess" for remote login. So far so good.

Finally, I go to my laptop and create a VPN Client Connection using the wizard. I use the same
user's credential as before. The VPN Server IP is also configure correctly. Also
the authentication mode(MS-CHAPv2) and tunnel-type is the same as the VPN server.

Now the moment of truth, I use my dial-up modem to connect to the Internet and start up
my VPN connection. Error!! Oh no...."Remote computer not responding" I double check everything to
make sure the configuration matches...but still no connection.

Can someone please help?? If you need more info, I am more than willing to supply them. DO you see
any crucial steps that I am missing out here? Any kind of advice will be greatly appreciate.
Thank you!!
