To the first part of your question, yes, that is it basically. If you are using the Cisco VPN client, you will enter the group name and password under the "Authentication" tab. You can also use the VPN client that is built into Windows, in which case you do not need the group name and password, but you have to set up the Base Group to accetp PPTP and L2TP connections. One thing about your setup. If your users in London are behind a NAT device, you need to make sure that your VPN client is set up to do NAT Traversal (NAT-T), sometimes referred to as IPSEC over UDP or IPSEC over NAT. Microsoft just release a Windows update that allows the PPTP client in Windows 2000 to do this. The difference between users and groups is the same as in any NOS. Users can be members of groups, and therefore can inherit the group's properties. This is beneficial when you have, say 50 users that all need the exact same policies, and/or you want them to pull their IP addresses from the same pool. You just set up a group with the options you want, set the IP pool for that group, then create the users and add them to the group. ""Richard Campbell"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi..
