I noticed that you have the same device I have. I'm trying to setup an
office to home connection. I haven't had any luck myself but have you
considered XP SP2 may be the problem? (something I haven't tried)

If you have had any previous success connecting remotely please help me?
I've tried almost every setting in the VPN device software setup and can't
get it to work. I can remote connect through the LAN but not through the web.

My office has XP Pro and home is XP Home. Between the XP Pro and the
internet there's a switch, the Symantec VPN device, and a router I bridged
into a modem. All IP's in the office are static, home is dynamic. The XP
Pro machine is the host. Per the VPN device software manual we should be
able to do that by entering the IP address:8088. But the static IP I have
with the ISP is not reachable through the browser from work or home.
However, I can ping it from work but not from home.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
