That's a more relevant page! I was looking elsewhere in the
illustratednetwork.
The first place I seem to stumble is the differences in the firewalls (XP to
the hardware Draytek I have).
Substituting W2k for XP is OK. I can select the host IP in my firewall VPN
setup but not the port number.
I'm assuming that this port is allocated automatically by the router's VPN
'tunnelling'
Onto the PPC device; differences between the first and second edition OS
screens muddy the waters. Plus the fact that I want to set my connection via
wireless either at home or abroad. If I've an IP address where I am with the
PPC, even a static one, when I move abroad, obviously this will change. Is
it not possible to specify mac address to mac address or possibly the mac
address of the moveable PPC to the IP of a static machine?
Using the ping in VX utils on the PPC I did get to a point where I could
ping the router and the PC IP addressess but when trying the active sync
test it tried to connect but timed out after several moments.
