Hi. I'm having a problem with a VPN. Here's the issue... I am trying to connect to a MS-VPN at work from a Win 98 box at home. (There is an e-smith relationship here...) My win98 box connects to the internet via a ESSG 4.1.2 box. I've checked my /var/log/messages file and see the following entries. Sep 13 07:54:16 e-smith kernel: ip_masq_pptp_tcp(): OUT_CALL_REQUEST 192.168.1.65 -> 209.5.96.236 CID=0 MCID=F3A7 Sep 13 07:54:16 e-smith kernel: ip_demasq_pptp_tcp(): OUT_CALL_REPLY 192.168.1.65 -> 209.5.96.236 CID=0 MCID=F3A7 Sep 13 07:54:46 e-smith kernel: ip_masq_pptp_tcp(): CALL_DISCONNECT_NOTIFY 192.168.1.65 -> 209.5.96.236 CID=0 MCID=F3A7 The connection status show it "Dialing" (not really.. it does go via the cable modem) then is shows that it's validating the password for my user id. But then I get the following error. Error 650 The computer you're dialing in to does not respond to a network request. Check your server type setting in the properties of the connection. If this problem persists, check with your network administrator. I know nothing about VPN's, so I'm speculating right now...but is it possible that the innitial VPN request takes place on a port TCP port that ESSG alows trafic on, but that the response from the VPN server comes back on a port that is blocked by ESSG? (the ESSG box is running in server & gateway mode.) Any help would be appreciated.
