Does anybody know of any documentation for a step by
step set up for a VPN. I have a w2k server I would like
to access from the outside. I also am using a Watchguard
Firebox firewall, if that is of any help.
 
You don't necessarily need a VPN to access your server from
the outside. If you're running Terminal Services then you can
use Remote Desktop to administer it via the Internet.
 
If you only need access to the one machine you can, as suggested by Pegasus,
just use Terminal Services.
If you do want to set up a VPN see:

I do have terminal services set up in Remote Admin
mode. Would this mode allow for up to 3 simaltaneous
users?
 
I am looking to have up to three users be able to
connect to the network and access files off of the server
to work offsite. I am not sure if TS Remote Admin mode
would be the answer. Please advise.
 
No Remote Admin mode only allows 2 simulatneous connections. You need to
change terminal services to application server mode.

Remote Admin. mode is limited to 2 users, and I believe that the users have
to be administrators.
