setting up VPN

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

From your question I have deciphered it to mean you have a LAN at home and
you want to connect to it using your PPC from a wireless internet hotspot
some where outside your home.

Well where to start!

There are many many factors which you have not given which will affect how
you would go about this.

How you connect to the internet - you will need a static IP address.

If you use a router you will have to setup ports etc and change any hardware
or software firewall settings (which you will need if your setting up a
VPN).

Also is your operating system, if you are using Windows 2000 or some kind of
business operating system it will be much easier.

Taking all this information into account there is probably no way of saying
'this page will tell you how to set it up!'

I recomend you search for something along the lines of 'Setting up a VPN in
Windows 2000' for example in google.

Hope this helps.
