Gary, I'm too much of a naive user to know the answer to that one. I'm
trying to use what comes with Windows. The XP server is set up using
the Windows Network Connections>Make a New Connection Wizard>Setup an
Advanced Connection>Accept Incoming Connections>Allow Virtual Private
Connections. The Laptop is set up using the Windows Network
Connections>Make A New Connection Wizard>Connect to my Workplace.

I think I've seen some documentation mention L2TP, but I'm not sure.

Thanks.

I'm also having problems getting my router to port forward properly
for my VPN which I believe is using PPTP.

When I set this computer as the DMZ I have no problems.

But when its off DMZ, with just ports 1723 (both) and 500 (both)
forwarded then people cant connect to me. My firewall is off, etc.

Am I missing something? What other ports need to be forwarded?

I'm using a DLink DGL4300 Wireless Gaming Router.

Nevermind.... I just solved my problem by upgrading the router's
firmware from v1.4 to v1.7
