Making Desktop PC Into VPN Server For Itself?
I've got the MSDN DVDs- and I'm guessing they probably have an
install for VPN server on them somewhere. So... would it make any sense for me to install a VPN server on this remote PC that I want tb able to connect to at will? My rationale is that I've already got VPN clients and Remote Desktop on all my PCs and with a VPN server on that one other PCI wouldn't have to spend the man hours and brainpower learning how to install/use some other pipeline. -- PeteCresswell

The answer depends on your exact requirements. If you just want file/folder access then a VPN would be fine. If you want to run interactive sessions then you would need to set up Remote Desktop.

That's what I had in mind - VPN as the tunnel and Remote Desktop as the UI. Do you think that the VPN server (or whatever it's called...) can be run on a regular Windows XP Pro PC and allow Remote Desktop Access to that same PC? -- PeteCresswell
