I need to allow a few offsite people to be able to connect into our network via the internet. So the easiest way of doing this would be to set up a VPN through the Internet. I have installed the Remote Administration Server on the NT4 Secondary Domain controller and set it to have 3 Point to Point tunnelling protocol connections which will make and receive calls using just TCP/IP.
However everytime I try to establish a VPN connection from within my company as a test with a Win2K machine to RAS server I get an error saying The specified Port is not open (Error 619). What I have done on my client machine to test the VPN out is to simply stop Microsoft network client working so that I simply communicate via TCP/IP and nothing else. With this setting I simply have a TCP/IP address and a subnet ( a bit like a dial up connection). When I connect to the RAS Server, the server initially authenticates me and then gives me this error. So it does go all the way to authenticating me using my Domain user name and password but then gives me this error. The RAS server does initially authenticate me because if I do deliberately put in a wrong password it does ask for the right one and I have set-up the RAS server to allow my user name to connect into the RAS server.
I have set the RAS server to give out any remote client an IP address from addresses currently not being used at my company so there is no conflict. I have also set up the client machine to accept any IP address the server assigns and to use the RAS server's gateway.
I get the same error when trying to connect via a Win98 machine.
As I am doing this within my company there is no firewall or router between the test client machine and RAS Server.
I have no DHCP or Wins. Do i need to have these setup by any chance?
thanks
