Since you are asking for the setup procedure for a VPN Server, here is how you can do it on Windows XP.

- Now you are going to need to create an account which will be used for connecting to the server. This is done by clicking the Add button.
- This is the setup for adding the user that will be used to access the VPN.
- This screen will give the options for the Allocation of IP addresses from the people that are connecting. To do this, click on the “Internet Protocol” and click “Properties”.
- On my network I know that IP addresses over 200 are free, so I have selected the range 192.168.1.201-192.168.1.220. If you are running a DHCP server you can let it specify the addresses. If in doubt specify manually as it can be changed later and click OK then Next.
- Click Finish to close the wizard.
