I am trying to set up a VPN with a W2K client dialling in via a modem
to a XP Pro host that is connected to the internet via a Solwise
SAR110 router.
I have set up VPN client and Incoming connections host on the
respective machines, with the user accounts properly set up, and using
TCP/IP. The router has been configured to allow TCP and GRE (protocol
47) on port 1723 - for the local IP address I have used the private IP
address of the NIC that is connected to the router, and the global IP
address is the static IP address assigned by my ISP.
However, when I try to connect from the W2K PC I get "Error 721 - the
remote computer is not responding". On the XP the connection icon (2
blue computers) flashes, but that is all.
The result is the same if the XP's firewall is on or off. Also, the XP
has Norton Internet Security, but I get the same result even after
turning Security off.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
