Come on there are a lot of network guys here, can anyone give me any
suggestions? I really need to get this resolved. Someone just tell me the
way they would set it up and I can start there. I'm thinking that
eliminating the router and configuring one of the NICs for NAT and the other
for the terminal services, is that correct?
What are you trying to use for VPN? Windows 2003 RAS? I've never really
worked with the RAS settings in Windows, so I can't say one way or another
if that is a good idea.
Your best solution (IMO) is to do the following:
Setup a small linux box (anything better than a P1 with 64MB memory will
work) and install ssh on it. Setup a few user accounts for people who
will connect remotely.
Forward the ssh port from the router to that linux box.
Setup Putty with port forwarding for remote desktop.
There you go, you're in. No more worrying about windows VPN.
Hell, you can test all this with a Gentoo LiveCD.
