Morning all,

I spent some of my time yesterday looking at Microsoft VPN's

My Father-in-law is an IT nightmare, so I end up supporting his Business
PC..

When the ADSL price rises come down in April, I'll move him over to ADSL,
but in the mean time he has a Dial Up connection with Static IP.

I thought for backup purposes, as well as support it would be useful to
create a VPN between his network and mine, so I configured Microsoft's VPN
software on my WIn2K workstation and a VPN host on his PC. (and a user
account on my PC with access rights to a single share).

Now I can connect across the internet to my home PC, the connection
authenticates and is live, but I cannot see my PC from his....

I have looked in network neighbourhood, I tried pinging my IP address, and
machine name, nothing......... anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

Daniel
