Setting up a VPN

[alex8582]

hi,

we've recently had satalite broardband installed and setup and we're having trouble setting up a vpn, i set up allow incoming connection on the windows 2000 server which took me to routing and remote access wizard, i went through that and set it all up, i then setup the vpn connection on the client which is using a dial-up account and that was ok, but when i try to connect it keeps saying:
Error 769 The specified destination is not reachable
any idea's on how i can get this resolved as it's becoming very stressful
kind regards
alex saager

Try to access your server system using a browser. Just type in your ip address followed by 5800/5900.

Say your ip is 192.168.1.1, you need to use

http://192.168.1.1:5800.

If 5800 doesnt work use 5900. All this provided, you havent changed your server defaults.

Try this first on the same system as your server. YOu should get an error saying "loopback not allowed". If this is what you get. Try it out from the other system.

Cheers

I didn't think you could upload with satelite ADSL? unless ofcourse you have a transmitter?

Not sure on that tho
