Instruction on how to setup home VPN VLAN

So you are like me trying to use hamachi and similar software to play games online as if you were on LAN, well truth is you dont need those software you only need windows xp, one computer need to bee server for setting up VPN (Virtual Private Network) whitch is something like VLAN (Virtual LAN) actualy it is vlan, so as i was saying one comuper need to be server for VPN and others need to settup client connection so that they need to connect too him over internet. So only thing you need is fast internet betwen two computers so that ping is low and games playable, ping will be just like in hamachi, becouse it is same tehniqe....So here is the instruction...

FOR VPN SERVER COMPUTER:

1. Go to Start / Settings / Network Connections
2. Start the New Connection Wizard

3. Click on the Next button
4. Select Set up advanced connection

5. Click on the Next button.
6. Click on Accept incoming connections

7. Click on the Next button
8. At the LPT1 page, skip it and just click on the Next button.

9. Click on Allow virtual private connection

10. Click on the Next button
11. Add user accounts that you want to be able to connect to your WindowsXP computer.

12. Click on the Next button.
13. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties

14. Determine how you want the remote computers to get their IP address

19. The above example will assign IP addresses to each client. Make sure the IP scheme is the same as on your server.
20. If the VPN server is behind a router, Port Mapping will need to be done on the router. Standard port usage is 1723 for PPTP. You might also need to configure your router for PPTP Passthrough. Port usage for IPSec is 500, 50-51. These ports will have to be forwarded to the VPN server's IP
now you have new connection in your Network Connections


So this was for server of VPN network, now this is for client:


1. Go to Start / Settings / Network Connections
2. Start the New Connection Wizard



3. Now here you type connection name (any one you like example: "VPN")


4. This is main part, you need to type IP adress of server, so let server go to

Code:

http://www.whatsmyip.org/

and see his ip so he can paste it to client, or hostname if you have dinamic ip


5. Username and password we setup on server and that username and password are for this


now you have new connection in your Network Connections and only thing you need to do now is to type in username and pass, and connect to host, now you have VLAN and you can play games...

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SOMETIME FIREWALL OR ANTIVIRUS CAN MAKE YOUR GAME NOT LISTED IN LAN GAME WINDOWS
ENJOY!!!!
