If you are VPN:ing youre way in you would aim for youre WAN ip address, perhaps via a domain name, and you would need to go through the routerregaedless if you aee on your own LAN. Other reqiests isn't VPN requests! Even though the other requests can give you clues they are not equivalents to VPN. > >> Does your router need port forwarding as well . . .or is having it in the >> DMZ sufficient? > > DMZ has been sufficient for everything. Well, you might be meening 'everything else? If not you drawing conlusions here without proper bullet proof testing. My advice: if you can skip the router once for testing purpose, do it! It is obvious the VPN request doesn't reach the server if I understand what you are saying about there is no sign of a VPN request on the server. I assume the log files are without any trace of a VPN request. If this is true it is hard to not suspect the router. // John Stalberg > _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
