Mike, Not having a NT4 box in front of me, I will try to recall from memory how to set it up. (also I have never tried this with "out of the box" RAS, I always use RRAS, but I think it should still work). When you installed PPTP is should have asked you how many "virtual" connections you want to allow, specify atleast one. It will then install RAS (if not already installed). When the RAS configuration tool appears add the "virtual" connection (just like adding a modem), ensure that the connection has "dial out" enabled. Then create a RAS dial-out connection and specify the "virtual" adapter instead of a modem and it will ask you for a IP address instead of a phone number (specify the IP address of the VPN server) and try to connect.

We have a remote office that we just opened and we want to connect the office via a VPN. So we thought we could get a DSL circuit, set up and NT server in the remote office and configure Microsoft's PPTP. However, when we installed the PPTP software NT also installed RAS. It looks to me like doing a VPN with NT means you must use a modem. As you can see I have no experience with VPNs and would welcome any info you have. Am I going about this wrong? Is there other software I could use?
