I want to setup a VPN connection from my home PC (Windows XP Pro) directly to
a machine on our company LAN. We have a TZ170 Sonicwall and 1 Windows 2000
Advanced Server and 2 Novell servers with Novell/Microsoft clients. WAN is
64.60.51.66, mask is 255.255.255.248 and our local subnet is 10.0.0.x.

What IP address do I put in when I'm setting up the connection from my home
PC? What needs to be done on the server side on our Windows 2000 Server?
What needs to be done on our firewall to enable this connection?

George

Assuming VPN server will assign IP to the VPN client, you can use any IP except 10.0.0.x. You need open the port 1723 if it is PPTP VPN.
