Hi,

I have setup a VPN server on a Win2k server box. I have
also setup a modem on it in order to accept incoming dial-
up connection. As part of the test lab I want to be able
to dial into the RAS/VPN server and then build a VPN
tunnel through my RAS connection coming off the same
server. Is that possible? The dial in process worked fine
however when I try to build a tunnel, I get an error
like "server not responding". I have tried a direct VPN
connection to the server (not dial-up) and the tunnel gets
built fine so that leads me to believe that it must be
something to do with the dial-up. Does the RAS server that
is accepting the dial-in connections have to be on a
different box then the RAS server that is accepting VPN,
any tips would be greatly appreciated. I personally think
that it should work as when I dial into the RAS server as
it is now I would get assigned an IP address on the same
subnet as the VPN server and therefore through that RAS
connection I should be able to build a VPN tunnel. Am I
missing something?
