Hi

How can I setup remote access on a win2k server so I can access the win xp
pro workstations in network? I was thinking to create a vpn to the server
and then use remote desktop to connect to individual pcs. What I really need
is how to configure the win2k server to allow vpn connections from remote
clients.

Thanks

Regards

Why go via the server? Use Remote Desktop to go directly to each
workstation!

Also: What exactly do you want to do on each workstation?

Hi

I did not know you could go straight to each workstation. How is this setup?
The win2k server is connected to a broadband modem netgear dm602.

Thanks

Regards

You assign a port number to each workstation
(e.g. 3389 for PS1, 3390 for PS2 etc), then
create a rule in your firewall/router that directs
packets to the correct internal IP address, based
on the port number.

Where on each workstation do I assign the port numbers? Sorry, its my first
time. Also, any configuration required on the win2k server to allow and
accept incoming vpn connections?

Wouldn't mind some good links with accurate information on the subject.

Thanks

Regards

You need to set the desired host port number in the host's registry:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\Por
tNumber
Reboot the host after making the change.
Use telnet.exe internally to test the port number:
telnet SomePC 3389, or
telnet SomeIPAddress 3389

On the remote, put the port number into the command line:
mstsc /v:SomeHost:PortNumber

You can also use an .rdp parameter file. Here are some
details: http://dev.remotenetworktechnology.com/ts/rdpfile.htm

I do not understand the point of your question about vpn
permissions on the server.
a) You're using Remote Desktop, not VPN
b) You're not going through the server
c) You're setting your rules (and permissions) on your router
or firewall.
