| 801018 | 2009-08-14 09:38:00 | I've set up a VPN at home (lets me connect from other PCs on my network), but I can't get an external client to connect. I'm assuming its being stopped by my adsl router, but I'm not sure. There are no hits being logged on the server, so I don't think anything is getting that far. I've tried using both a dyndns address and IP. I've forwarded port 1723 to my server, and am unsure now what else to try. Server is Win 2008 Enterprise Router is a DSE XH1169 (it says forwarding port 1723 should allow external connections to internal VPN) Connecting from Windows Vista... works internally, not externally. The same Vista machine connects to my work VPN no problem. Cheers, Mike. |

| 801020 | 2009-08-14 11:06:00 | Yeah it appears to be forwarded alright: Success: I can see your service on port (1723) Your ISP is not blocking port 1723 Mike. |

| 801023 | 2009-08-14 11:33:00 | hope this helps a bit | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 801024 | 2009-08-14 14:17:00 | thanks nedkelly, but these seem to be more for setting up a connection to a VPN, whereas I believe my problem is at the VPN end trying to receive the connection (I could be wrong here??) my VPN connection out works both internally to my VPN and externally to my work VPN, but if I try to connect to my VPN via the internet I don't seem to be hitting my server...

Mike.this only talks about setting up Vista as a host... :( I am getting a message though if I hit "diagnose the problem" when it fails: <ip address I'm connecting to> is not set up to establish a connection on port "pptp" with this computer Mike. |

| 801027 | 2009-08-14 20:58:00 | Find the user accounts, go into their properties, under Dial-In, tick "Allow Acces" to VPN, and see if that helps :) EDIT: Turns out I have a SBS2008 box handy to RDP into, screenshot time! Attached file: dial-in.PNG (www.imagef1.net.nz) (35 KB) |
