Setting up remote access by VPN

[pcoxwell]

I have setup my SBS 2003 server for VPN, created the connection disk and run this on my laptop. I have also changed the profile from User to Mobile User, and altered the necessary settings in the Dial-In section of the User Properties. Yet when I run the Connection Manager it establishes a connection but is unable to authorisee the user password. I have checked that I have typed this correctly time and time again but still no luck, any advice on what I should try or need to do? Am I missing something simple? Could it have anything to do with my router? I have configured it so that all traffic for VPN port forwards to the SBS server...

I hope someone can help!!

Many thanks in advance.

Are you putting domain\username in the login box? (as opposed to just username).

Yup, i've tried that and no result. I'm just wondering if it's a port issue? What ports should be open on the firewall? At present i've got it flowing through 1723, is that correct?

IPSec uses UDP port 500 and protocols 50 & 51.

PPTP is used by Microsoft & compatible VPN's and uses TCP port 1723 and protocol 47.

What kind of firewall? Most will auto setup vpn pass through. Dont forget to allow the protocol in your ACL.

I'm using a Draytek Vigor 2600We. How do i enable protocol 47 on port 1723? Sorry to be dumb but what is ACL? I'm completely new to everything servers!

Many thanks for all your help

I am not familiar with that FW but an ACL is an access list. You use it to allow/deny traffuc through your firewall.

One way to allow 47 would be:

access-list acl_in permit gre any any

Then apply the access list acl_in (name of the list) to the interface.

Hmmm,

Still no joy. It connects seamlesly, just cannot verify user.It records the errors as 721 and 619, does this make things any clearer?
