I would let the customer know that in order to determine if he should be
paid by you for the Geek service call that he needs to let you do a test
to see if it is the MTU settings in the VPN and PPOE. If it turns out
that it is fixable via settings in the VPN software, then the customer
should tell the Geek squad that they should not charge and it's not your
problem. Geek squad should have figured it out with settings. Then if
it's not that pay for Geek squad. You get to learn something for your
expense. But be sure and specify that this is a one time deal...

Was it never working.
If the latter I'd say not a chance of reimbursement. They should be
super happy that their provider came up with a solution for them that
fast to work around what is most likely their faulty VPN setup.

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. ____

We thought perhaps it was a port issue. Opened the ports on

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

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