Question

Hi,
I'm wanting to work out how to connect my Windows XP PC at home to the Mac OS X leopard Server VPN at work.
Could someone help?
Cheers,

Here are the instructions that have worked for me in the same situation. A colleague found these but didn't provide a link to the source, so I'm not sure where they're from.
Windows VPN Settings
Step 1 - Edit the registry
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPsec
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. In the New Value #1 box, type AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value Data box, type one of the following values:
• 0 (default)
A value of 0 (zero) configures Windows so that it cannot establish security associations with servers that are located behind network address translators.
• 1
A value of 1 configures Windows so that it can establish security associations with servers that are located behind network address translators.
• 2
A value of 2 configures Windows so that it can establish security associations when both the server and the Windows XP SP2-based client computer are behind network address translators.
7. Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.
8. Restart the computer.
Step 2 – Set up the VPN Client in Windows
Open up control panel
Click on Network Connections
Create a connection
Crate a connection to connect to my business (VPN)
IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
On security tab click on IPSec Settings
Shared key is xxxxxxxx
Start up the connection and enter userid and password information.
