First of all, if it's important/crucial for a live installation, you should have done your home work properly before attempting an installation of something as business crucial as a firewall installation. Now that I've pointed my finger at you, I can try to give you a helping hand as I actually use the PPTP VPN solution in pfSense myself. The good thing about PPTP is that basically any Windows installation since Windows 2000 (or is it 98) has built in support for PPTP. All you gotta do on the client side, is point the connection to the public IP that the pfSense box uses. If you are unsure what IP that is, you can use a client on the inside (LAN) network and try a connection to http://www.whatismyip.org or a similar service. With Windows XP and Vista, the preferred authentication methods (encryption wise) are already on as default, so you should be able to log on. Just make sure you add a user on the users page, or better yet, set up a RADIUS authentication scheme if you use a Active Directory on your local network. This means you have to set up IAS as well. As for the local IP, you need to set aside enough space on your local /24 range, so that PPTP can get the 16 ip addresses it needs. This number can't be changed. This range of 16 ip's can't be used by the DHCP server, or any statically assigned network device, as that will cause network routing problems. Hope this clears things up. -- Yours sincerely Jostein Elvaker Haande A free society is a place where it is safe to be unpopular http://tolecnal.net -- tolecnal at tolecnal dot net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
