Re: VPN connection problem

I think 800 messages mean that the udp 47 is being blocked. Just
because a router says it is up to date and supports pptp does not mean
that it does. You could test making your external nic the dmz in the
router.

Does the server respond to vpn connections internally? Easy to check
with a laptop that is not a member of the domain.
