Does anyone know how could I set Vista RC1 as the Virtual Private Network Server or a Remote Access Server? I do not need a 'how to connect' to one, I need to setup my Vista install as the server. I have already started the 'Routing and Remote Access' service. The 'Incoming Connections' now appear in 'Network Connections' but it doesn't show my RJ-45 connection as an option to use.

vista will only be a VPN client, cannot host clients, ICS (internet Connection Sharing) will be avialable like in XP
