How to setup a VPN server ?

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

1. Select first which workstation or computer you want to use for the server. Go to Network Connections by clicking Start, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, then Network Connections.

1. On the left panel under Network Tasks, click Create a new connection.

1. Click Next when the New Connection Wizard window appears.

1. Select Set up an advanced connection.

1. On the next screen, select Accept incoming connections.

1. Click Next on the next page.

1. On the next page, select Allow virtual private connections.

1. 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.

1. This is the setup for adding the user that will be used to access the VPN.

1. 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”.

1. 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.

1. Click Finish to close the wizard.
