I am new to VPN and have limited network experience, but I am the IT person for a large Church and need the ability to make a VPN Peer connection through our Netvanta 3200 router (PPTP) to our server for fixing problems when I cannot be on site. I have tried to use the Netvanta's VPN Peer wizard and have set up a VPN server connection in XP on the PC I wish to connect to, but I don't know if I did it correctly. I have tried to connect via a laptop and the authentification settings used in the wizard, but no connection is made. I could sure use some help.

The switch between the NAT routers and the Netvanta had some faulty ports ... the physical connection was broken. Once the switch was replaced, the internet connection was restored.
