I create a (non-production) domain using VMS with the following VM network
layout.

Virtual Network:
1)DC/DNS Server - IP 172.16.0.1
2)RADIUS Server - IP 172.16.0.2
3) IIS/FILE Server - IP 172.16.0.3

Virtual Network/NIC (for internet access)
4) VPN Server - VN IP 172.16.0.4, NIC IP Dynamic (using Router IP)
192.168.0.112

Local Network Dynex Router: ISP Dynamic IP
1) Win 2003 R2 x63 Server
2) Labtop Win2K SP4

All I want to do is connect my Labtop to the VPN Server so I can access the
IIS/FILE Server. The Help docs are not showing me a simple solution. To
many concepts, but not a simple one and I am confused. So could some help
me out. I would really appreciate this! Thanks!

That looks OK. What doesn't work? Can the laptop ping the VPN server's
192.168 address? Can the laptop connect to the VPN server? If not, what
error message do you get?

Hi Grant, didn't know if this was a good place to ask to I placed this
question under the .server.general titled Need VPN Server help!...

and I added the error message and a output of my ipconfig/all at MVP
Robert's request. If you could help there I would also appreciate it if
Robert is too busy with other request's.

Error 800 doesn't really tell you much. It just mean that the connection
attempt failed. It usually means that the server is reachable but is not
configured correctly.

Have you configured the VPN server to accept PPTP connections? If so,
change the client settings to PPTP instead of automatic and see what message
you get.

Then it is definitely a server config error.
