HELP....RRAS Setup on Windows 2000 Advanced Server 1

[globemast]

Hello,

I currently want to setup my W2K Adv. Server as a VPN Server using RRAS.

From what i have read so far, the server machine has to have 2 ethernet cards, on for the local network and one connected to the Internet.

The LAN ethernet must be assigned static IP's within the LAN (i.e 192.168.1.10) and the WAN ethernet must be given the public IP assigned by the ISP. This is all clear to me.

But my case is a bit different. My W2K server is behind and ADSL router which is assigned a public IP from the ISP. Both ethernet cards on the server are thus assigned private (LAN) IP's.

What should be the configuration of each ethernet card, assuming ETH1 should be for the LAN and ETH2 should be for the WAN.

Thank you in advanced.

In that case you may want to use port forwarding on the router, if it supports it. You'll connect using the WAN IP but the router will forward that traffic to the VPN server.

L2TP UDP 1701
PPTP TCP 1723

Then in this case should i use only one Interface? If yes, what will be the settings of it?

Thank you.

Yes, one interface with an internal IP address. The router will pass the traffic to the internal IP.
