*sigh* [img]smile.gif[/img] That's what I'm saying: if you're using the Internet to tunnel packets over to make a VPN then you DO want to select the dial-up modem as the device to accept incoming connections.

Trust me, it works, I've played "LAN" games of Red Alert by connecting to my mate over the Internet and creating a VPN.

Why do you want to use the NIC? This is an Ethernet card and is used for connecting to users on a local network (i.e. already a PN!) with the Ethernet protocol.

Sorry let me, make it clear: the NIC shouldn't be in the list since it is used for connecting to local networks which are already private networks, therefore if you're connecting via the NIC, you don't need to set up a VIRTUAL PN since you have a real one. VPNs are only for use when you're tunnelling packets over Internet Protocol and you're using your dial-up modem to access the internet right?

Or are you accessing the web over your local network? In this case I'd understand why you're expecting to see the NIC in the list.
