But probably not this. It probably only forwards TCP and UDP protocols yet you need other IP related protocols to support a VPN. You may have better luck with PPTP as it passes through routers easier as it doesn't require protocols other than TCP/UDP. Also many routers capture all VPN traffic thinking that they should be hanling it, and some have specific configurations you need to enable to allow it to pass VPN traffic. Have you checked the latter? -d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Shoop [email protected] GoogleVoice: 1-646-402-5293 aim: iWiring twitter: @colonelmode _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
