   James Gifford to All   
   To make VPN connect...?

   Okay, I have what is probably the all-time stooopid question for this NG.   
      
   I have two ZyWALLs in and speaking with each other and the net in all   
   respects - I can ping, http, and reach apps on custom ports in both   
   directions. I have the VPN settings carefully configured to match on both   
   ends.   
      
   How do I open the VPN tunnel?   
      
   Creating a network connection (in XP Pro) doesn't seem quite right (doesn't   
   that create a software client bypassing the local VPN box?) - and if so,   
   what address do I point it to? The remote ZyWALL IP? The remote LAN server   
   IP? Nothing I've tried has been successful.   
      
   Sorry, I know this is a dumbass question, but everything I have at hand   
   assumes you know what to do with VPN boxes once they're set up...
