I really hope someone can help me before they commit me!

I am trying to set up a vpn connection from home (XP home/netgear router) to
my office (W2003 SBS/1 NIC/Linksys BEFSR11 router).

The router has ports 1723 and 43 forwarded to the local IP of my workstation
(XP Pro). On the workstation the firewall settings say they are being
handled by the domain and exceptions are set up for remote desktop.

When I set up the VPN client at home I use the static IP address of my
office router. When I try to connect I get error 800.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Buy a Sonicwall TZ170- The Sonicwall has internal VPN-server and is mutch
safer than running the VPNserver on the SBS. Why did MS remove TS and not
ISA and VPN, strange?

You would need to forward the ports on the router on the office side to your
SBS 2003 server, not the router at your house.

Sorry, I did not make myself very clear. The ports are forwarded on the
office router (1723 and 43) to my office workstation IP address

Try forwarding to your SBS server, not your workstation. See if that helps.

Hi,

Port 1723 and PROTOCOL 47 (GRE) also known as PPTP Pass through.

Did you run the RRAS wizard and the CEICW wizard? Can you successfully
telnet to your public IP on port 1723?

Because ISA is very useful on an SBS server, and VPN is also useful -- but
while running TS on an SBS server might be useful, it compromises your SBS
server. We asked Microsoft to tighten down SBS and they did.

Hey Linda

Would be far far easier to put the router at work and then login through the
VPN facility on the router.

Cheers

The "powers" don't wan to buy any new hardware right now so I am stuck with
the BEFSR11 at work - it does not have it's own VPN as far as I know.
