I think he did call and I think some of his initial contact may have been with 
ServerPlus.  I don’t recall the total sequence of events.  It was escalated.  
Our folks checked thing out and all appeared well for everything but the VPN.  
We did err in not immediately converting him to DHCP as we are trying to 
complete that company wide.

Did he ever call you to report/resolve the issue? If you blew him off, maybe he 
has an issue. If he never called you, but went straight to Geek Squad, then he 
kind of took it on himself.

  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.

    I think I would tell him to did off. Try getting a credit from quest, att, 
Verizon, etc. Of course I have had some drinks

      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.
