Great tutorial!

In http://www.sevenforums.com/attachmen...nections-7.jpg I checked "allow callers to access my local network". I checked "specify ip addresses" as well. But what to fill in at "From:" and "To:" ? It must be possible that 10 vpn-clients connect simultaniously

My home lan has IP-addresses 192.168.10.1 (router), 192.168.10.2 (ftp server with static ip address), 3 computers in dhcp-range (192.168.10.100-192.168.10.200). subnetmask=255.255.255.0

Hi, I did this and I can connect only once to my Win 7 Ultimate machine, is there a way to allow multiple PPTP connections?

Thanks!

Since Windows 7 only allows 1 connection I am using OpenVPN and so far I have 3 PC's, 1 Mac, 1 Linux and 2 Android phones connected and working fine. Only thing im missing is the iPad2 which there is no OpemVPN on Apple AppStore for it.. And I cant use both Windows 7 and OpenVPN at the same time since I have to ICS the local nic to one of the VPN adapters..

When I try to configure my VPN, I get an message when I am setting up a new incoming connection that says
Windows could not detect any devices".

Okay.. I am stumped.. How do I get around this?

Thanks in advance for your help

I am now using a pfSense firewall that has IPSec, L2TP, PPTP and OpenVPN Only using the later 2 at the moment.. MS should not cripple their software to make you buy an upgrade...that's just...wrong.

Hi there,
What I need and been trying to setup somehow with a script I found over the net, is a DRC on windows 7 start. But I need to conect to this windows 7 start PC. But according to MS it can only be a client. Does anybody have any ideas ?
Take care.

you mean RDC (remoet desktop connection) instead of DRC?
What doesn't work?

• setting up Windows 7 as a terminal server?
• Connect to that terminal server?

Yes, that what I meant, RDC. Well what I am trying to do is to have my windows XP PC conects to my windows 7 start PC using RDC>

What doen't work?
is Windows 7 terminal server running fine? let another computer in house try to connect to it. First terminal server has to be up and running succesful.
