Hello, I'm working on seting up a VPN connecting and having many problems. Ill try to include as much relivant information as possible:
I've been working over the past week or so to setup a VPN between our Home Officer network and my step-sisters Home network so she can work there instead of runing back and forth. However, after many hours and even more headaches i still cant seem to get it working. I was configuring it connect to 2003 server but because i need to set it up on other XP Pro computers later i opted to try XP instead.
The network(server side) consists of a Linksys BEFVP41 V2(vpn cable/dsl router) and a Wireless A+G router. Currently i have the vpn router setup as the gateway, the wireless is set in router mode. All ports(even on both routers) VPN uses that i am aware of are forwarded to the server computer( PPTP/L2TP-IPSec pass-throughs) prot 47 and 48-50, ports 1723 and 500 are forwarded(for both TCP and UDP). I have ports forwarded on the client end as well(its useing a bellsouth dsl modem/router, i dont have specific information on it with me at my location) i beleive.(however i am unsure, are there any specific client side ports i need to open besides 1024-65524 range?)
When i attempt to connect i receive error code 721 every time. I've checked everything and so far i dont beleive there is a firewall runing blocking ports anywhere. Norton is installed on all machines but no firewall is setup or enabled. Windows personal firewall are disabled on both ends as well as the router firewalls. I attempted to test DMZ hosting out to see if it was a problem with the routers but it wouldnt even connect to the IP at that point(i receive a different error at this point, saying it couldnt connect and the server may be unreachable). I can succesfuly ping every computer and both routers here on the office network as well asn ping the remote clients IP.
The server connection has a static IP, the client is dynamic, our ISP(BellSouth) does not block VPN traffic either. I've looked over more or less every single guide on Linksys/Cisco/Microsoft sites as well as reading over every arictle here related to VPN. I cant think of much else, however i will include my inconfig/all info as well for both the client and server(as well as the default router).
