VPN over Vonage Router

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip,comp.dcom.vpn (More info?)

I have a Linksys RT31P2 router for my Vonage VOIP
connection. Everything else works fine, but I cannot establish a
vanilla Microsoft VPN connection thru it. Topology is my computer to
Linksys to cable modem thru internet to VPN server. I could easily
establish a connection with my previous router (DLINK DI-624) where
the Linksys is now.

Now, however, I get hung at the "verifying username and password"
prompt. Googling this says the likely culprit is that PPTP passthru
is not enabled in the router; however, this router gives such an
option in its menus and it is enabled.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

....Mike

You may also want to try reducing the MTU size on your PC.

Check if port 1723 is open on your new router for PPTP passthrough.
