Getting VPN setup on a fresh 2003 Server

Hi, I'm really stuck at the moment.

 

I have a freshly installed Windows Server Enterprise 2003 which is not

part of a domain, as we are using a workgroup behind a DSL router.

The server only has one network card.

 

We want to use this server as our location for SQL server which

outside clients can VPN into the server directly and access the SQL

database securely, but we are currently testing with internal vpn

clients at present using Windows Pro XP2., and all ip address's are

valid with the correct subnet mask and gateway.

 

I used the Manage Server wizard to setup the Remote Access (VPN), and

set a newly created user to have Dial in access.

 

I either have no response from the Server when connecting, or

reprompts for the user name and password, or it states that the user

doesn't have enough priviledges.

 

Some extra info: I cannot ping the server, but the server can ping the

internal computers. Also the clients cannot \\server while the server

can \\client.

 

I have tried (many reinstalls) with/without Active Directory, with/

without a domain, but to no luck.

 

Can some point out my obvious fault here, as I was under the

impression that the Manage Server was supposed to set everything up

for me automatically?
