Yeah windows xp on the server. Joseph

I would prefer to stick with what i have got at the moment, so here are the details. i am using logon credentials that i specified when i created the vpn server. I have got the same account on both the client and the server. but i'm not sure why it is not accepting the logon details?? Any...

Hi Burt, Thanks for that - it is now sort of working! The vpn connects but when it gets to verifying the username and password it fails! I have checked the user name and password settings - but i cant see anything obvious - could you lend a hand on this problem?? I would really apreciate your...

I am trying to explain this as best io can!! 1. I have a computer behind my router on a home network - this is the vpn server. 2. i did the ipconfig /all in cmd and used the ip address in there - then from my laptop to the vpn server it connected fine!! 3. I then went to my friends house to...

Burt, what you have said is correct - from my friends house it could not even find my home computer with the ip address given. I understand the reason it worked on my home network - that was because i was connecting to the ip address of my networked home computer - 192.168.2.X - so of corse this...

OK, so is it perhaps that i need to log in to the routers ip address and then into the specific computer on the home network. This is starting to seem like an endless job to do something which in theory is so simple!! Joseph Bromwich.

I have tried this! The error is 'the computer your are trying to connect is not enabled for pptp connections' How can i rectify this?? I think the problem is that the computer is not allowing the pptp connections!! Joseph Browmich

No im not using norton - i have Windows XP firewall on the server and Kaspersky internet security on the client - and Windows Firewall on the client as well. Joseph Bromwich

Right . . . . . Would you mind explaining a bit more about the protocol number 47. i dont get it. I dont understand how port 1723 - the pptp port can be open but the computer not be enabled to take in pptp connections Joseph

Hi Chris, No unfortunately this hasn't worked! i did the port fowarding and hen ran a port scan and the ports were still closed - so i dont really know what is wrong. I just tried the vpn to check anyway and nope it doesn't work - the error message was that the server cannot handle pptp requests...

Hi Burt, I am was on my network, when it worked and then from my friends house it failed! The rest of what i had in the above post is correct! So any ideas on how to get it to work?? Joseph Bromwich
