Missing WAN Miniports... How to install?

[Rick]

Hi,

While attempting to configure a Windows 2000 Server vpn host I
discovered the Device Manager/ Network Adapters (Show Hidden Devices
On) doesn't have WAN Miniport (PPTP) or Wan Miniport (L2TP).

Hours on the net looking for a workaround and in Add New Hardware/
network adapters/ microsoft have found nothing.

Thank you in advance for your ideas.

You might try to reconfigure the RRAS machine as a VPN
server (the 3rd option if I'm not mistaken).
HTH,

Steve,

Tried that but it tells me I need to NIC cards, which I don't have. I might
be able to order one from my host... Further ideas encouraged.

Thanks,

Rick

Hi,

I don't Think it's gonna have a Wan Miniport (L2TP) with only one NIC...
but why it does not have a PPTP one...that's the problem.

Have a lookie here, and close look at appendix B (one NIC set up )

<<The only way a single adapter VPN server can work properly is if it is
behind a firewall that is providing a publishing and translation service for
the VPN server. >>

As far as I can see, you can only use PPTP if you only have one NIC .... I
am trying to disprove that but have not succeeded.

Hope this helps you find the answer,

Dave
