Re: Connection Manager does not work inside the router

Thanks David.
When I create a manaual VPN to the WAN-Ip of the SBS, it works and it sops
working, when I change that to the Routers WAN-IP. I gues that indicate that
the router (Vigor Dreytek VG2100) is not able to do the loop-back and I
cannot se anywhere to configure this.
I would like to be able to connect with my laptop from outside the router as
well as via the wlan on the router, so the lasting solution is not to use the
manual VPN configuration.
