Unless you specifically recommended he contact Geek Squad then I’d suggest you 
are not morally responsible…. Just my two cents worth…

We are not sure as we don’t want to experiment on him now.  

 

Just trying to determine if we feel we have a moral duty to reimburse him for 
his geek squad expenses.  

If his VPN is not robust enough for PPPOE, I don’t feel much compulsion.

But if this is common problem and we should have known it, then that is a 
different kettle of kittens.

Was his MTU a factor?  He would manually have to set it on the router behind 
the PPPoE connection.

The limitation would have evaporated when converted to DHCP.

Yeah Chuck, we went back and forth with Time Warner getting them to open ports 
on router for cameras...upgraded NVR and used vendor platform access to finally 
give manager remote access and monitoring to camp cameras.

Had a customer that works from home.  Could not make his VPN work.  

We thought perhaps it was a port issue.  Opened the ports on the Smart RG.  No 
good.

 

He spend $150 over the weekend on a geek squad type of service and they pointed 
their finger at us.  

 

So, just because we haven’t tried it, we switched him to DHCP and it started 
working.

We are in the process of converting everyone to DHCP.

 

He wants a credit in the amount of the money he paid the geek squad.  

 

Wonder if it was truly our fault.  Still don’t know why it started working or 
what the problem was.
