I dont think you can setup an ME box to be an VPN server it only allows connections going outbound. Win2000 will let you setup connections going in and out.

thanks for your reply Kevin. but in the installable options in windows there is an option in the connections section to install "dial up server" and the short description says" lets your computer accept incomming calls" or something similar. would this be to install vpn or something compleatly different ?

I just talked with an Microsoft Consultant Serice presonal that I work with and he informed me that ME and 98 cannot preform the service of an VPN server. Only NT and Win2000 give you that option.
