What kind of VPN? The one included with 2000/XP/2003? or some other kind?

sorry the one included with XP

The VPN that come included with XP works but it is limited to one connection at a time. Otherwise, it works quite well and it's very easy to set up.

yeah one connection is fine, but my problem is getting that one connection
i thought it was easy to set up to, i didn't have any problems with that but when you double click your connection icon it brings up a username and password, i don't remember making any of these so i don't know what to do from here?

okay i think the connection is set up fine but how do you set up the server?

For what purpose are you trying to create a VPN?

Probably so they can share some "files and pictures". 😉 😁

Or playing some games via LAN. I really hate GameSpy and crap like that. 😠

yeah i'm just trying to play a crappy dos game over the internet
and dosbox isn't cutting it, exploring other options and this one seems the best since kahn doesn't work for xp and kali won't give the trial subscription codes

Funny how a question is usually badly described when first asked.... and then to describe the game as 'crappy' would lead me to consider that any help may not be worth giving...

I don't know if Windows XP Home includes VPN Server support (or what variant you are using...) but you should read this guide : http://asia.cnet.com/enterprise/netadmin/0,39 … 00223c-1,00.htm

IPX should possible (as long as it's installed/working/supported) but I've no first hand experience of tunnelling IPX packets through Microsoft's VPN solution. There is a comment on the article with regards to IPX so check it out.

And you'll have to make sure the VPN ports is forwarded through the server's router (if one is used...).
