Re: Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be

Joe,

I think I know what you are saying, but I need a little more detail. Enable
the log on the "Linksys" router? Use Routing and Remote to set up ports 1723
and 47? Use Static address? eliminate firewalls? no longer have ISA.
Sprint ADSL with Dynamic address 192.168.1.1. Router 192.168.3.1 DHCP server
internet connect at 192.168.3.125. Server local ip 192.168.16.2 (default) now
running sbs2003 standard
Thanks
