ok ive figured out how to set this up but heres my question...there is a line that asks for client ip...i understand this to mean the address scope of the machine you are trying to vpn from....however i want to be able to vpn into my network from anywhere....is there a way to allow vpn access from anywhere regardless of what subnet im on....i tried typing in 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255...this however doesnt work...is there any way to do this? i tried leaving the field blank but that didnt work either....any ideas...

The field for client IP(s) is for a range of IP addresses the server should assign to the connecting client. It has nothing to do with the IP the client has on its own network.

The range should somewhere in the subnet of the servers network, but does not need to be in the same group as the standard DHCP group that the DHCP server is using locally.

For example, I'm using the 192.168.1.x subnet at home. The DHCP range is 192.168.1.50 through 192.168.1.99. I am using 192.168.1.100-125 for PPTP clients. When I connect from my work (10.18.86.x network), I receive a 192.168.1.x address from the PPTP server.
