I'd like to be able to access certain files on my computer when I'm out. I don't want to use a service like Hamachi. I want to be at a computer (XP or Vista) and be able to connect to my home computer and access files without installing any software. I'm using Be* Broadband. They told me their router will allow VPN. This is the guidance I got for setting it up. I then followed the steps on this website for setting up Vista as a VPN Server: Vista as VPN Server The point at which I got stuck/confused was here... Reason being that the example given was this: It showed a sequence of ip adresses. My router's IP address is - 192.168.1.254 I can't go higher than this IP address - so what do I put in the "To" IP address box. I presume if I get this correct. I could be say at starbucks with my laptop. Choose to create a VPN. Enter the IP address. Enter the username and password and connect to my home computer. What I'm confused about is supposing I told two computers in my house to accept incoming VPN connections - how would my router know which to forward to. Was that done above where I setup the PPTP and IPSEC forwarding. As you can see I'm trying to get my head around this - but it's all very new to me. Help would be greatly appreciated!
