Can you setup a VPN server without a fixed IP ?
Possibly a daft question, as I'm not familiar with VPN's but is it possible to setup a VPN tunnel from VPN client (WinXP Pro VPN client) to a VPN router that doesn't have a fixed IP address ?
I realise the lease will expire at any time on the router's non fixed IP address, but if I can put up with that, is it possible ?

uurrr I suppose it's possible, but would be an **** with a dynamic IP, which router are we talking about out of interest?
could you use a dynamic DNS service like Dynamic Network Services, Inc. -- DynDNS -- Welcome

The address at the other end won't change without a reason and the VPN will drop before that happens, so it'll be fine if you don't mind the occasional restart.

I loved my 2600G, me mam has it now. Yeah the 2800G supports dynamic DNS services and the draytek IIRC has it's own VPN client

Spectrum,
If you dont have any luck with this, try:
Hamachi : Stay Connected a zero config VPN in software, very handy indeed.
