Installation of the Windows NT4 RAS-Server
My procedure will most probably not match your
setup:
I did NOT have a permanent Internet connection with a static
IP-address, but only dialup connection with a dynamic IP-address.
The Microsoft documentation states, that you need for the
VPN-server a
STATIC IP-address. However, I got it to work and the basics are
very similar.
Also, I did reload the Service pack 3
after each reconfiguration
(Service pack 3 was required due to another software package on
my system)
The following procedures are very similar to Windows NT Installation of
Dial-Up Networking and Remote Access Server (RAS) for
Dialing-In, but I repeat them here with
the specific view on VPN.
I am starting with a Windows NT server configured with a network
using NetBEUI protocol:
 |
|
 |
The NetBEUI protocol has a binding to
the Server module and Workstation
module. |
Although starting up up "Dialup-Networking"
in "Your Computer" will
start the installation:

I prefer to make the installation from the Network-Applet
in the Control-Panel:
 |
Since I need to connect to the
Internet,
I need to install as protocol in addition
TCP/IP, and since I get my
IP-address
assigned dynamically from my ISP
when connecting, I configure TCP/IP
for DHCP. |

 |
Under Services, I add now
the
"Remote
Access
Service
(RAS)" |
 |
On installing RAS, it starts up
the RAS Setup and proposes to
add as RAS Device the modem
(the modem has to be installed in
a previous step)
|
Now, we need to configure the
RAS device: Modem:

I will use the modem only to dial out: to connect to the Internet
We need to configure the Network
parameters:

allowing to connect via the modem ONLY using TCP/IP
(the Internet itself will anyway not
connect with any other protocol)
Since this system is now configured with TWO protocols (NetBEUI and TCP/IP),
we need to adjust the Bindings of the network components:

To prevent any unauthorized access from the Internet to the local
disk and
to the local network:
| - |
Local network using NetBEUI
bound to the Server
and Workstation module |
| - |
The Internet-connection (Remote
Access WAN Wrapper) has ONLY a
binding with TCP/IP to the Remote Access
Server Service
(please note for later reference the adapter number
"5") |
