As the subject mentioned I'm trying to setup a VPN between a 'win2k Professional' system and a 'win98' system. The win2k machine will be the host. I'm hoping that someone can send me links to docs which could help me out in setting this up as it is a bit 'lout of my league' for me.

But you never know, they may surprise me. They've done it before.

this document explains how to configure an incomming vpn connection under XP professional. the process is virtually the same under 2K Professional.

www.microsoft.com

I suggest you use only CHAP2 authentication as earlier implimentations can be exploited. Basically under 98 you set up the VPN connection as a phoney dialup account. A problem you may have is that the computer answering the VPN call may have a dynamic IP address on the internet, which will make it difficult for the computer 'dialing' it to find it. To get round this problem I would suggest a free dynamic DNS service like www.dyndns.org to make the computer locatable by the client PC. You then install a dynamic DNS client on the computer and when it's connected to the internet it updates the DNS record to point to the IP address it has currently.

have fun!
