I'm tring to set up a windows 2000 VPN server. I have managed to connect to it using Win98SE with dun 1.4 update. But when I disconect from the router (linksys befsr41 cable/dsl) and use a modem to connect to the internet with AOL I can't ping the router. I know it won't connect unless I can ping the router. What IP address should I be tryinh to ping? The router or the VPN Server address. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

It appears from what you are saying that the router has ICMP turned off, therefore it won't respond to a PING command. This is a good feature as it makes it look as though there isn't anything on the IP and stops people trying to port probe or DOS you.
