I have a visiting user trying to use a VPN connection back
to their office and I have proxy 2.0 installed in my NT
4.0 domain environment. The user has winsock loaded. No
error message - the connection fails immediately. Can you
point me to where I may have an issue.

Thank you.

Actually this is not a DNS question.

You'll need to create a rule to allow the VPN ports inbound.

What ports you may ask? That depends on what type of VPN (L2TP or PPTP).
Proxy 20 may not support L2TP, but haven't tried it as of yet.

What rule you may ask? I would suggest to post this to the Proxy newsgroup
for a more specific response.
