Configuring Remote Access
About This Chapter
Microsoft Windows 2000 incorporates several new protocols for use
with remote access, in addition to new wizards and interfaces for
configuring all types of network connections. The Network Connection wizard, for example,
provides a simple interface for creating and configuring basic inbound
and outbound connections, while Routing and Remote Access is a more
robust management tool for configuring connections on domain
controllers. This chapter gives you an understanding of the new options and interfaces in Windows 2000 so that
you can connect computers and configure protocols correctly to meet
your organization's remote access requirements.
