I am having (ALOT) of trouble setting up a VPN using NT4.0 Server / Win 98 Clients. I am hoping that there might be someone who can shed some light on the subject. I have downloaded every document I can find on the subject, but still have no success in implementation. First I have a small LAN with the NT server which is connected to a broadband router with a static IP. Second, a client with a static IP also running Windows 98 SE. Both units are connected via cable modem. I can ping the router from the client side, but when trying to establish a VPN session, it rejects the attempt. Most likely I do not have port assignments setup properly, and/or authentication. Bear with me.. I’m new to VPN… I have enabled, on the router, the “visible computer” option and gave it its internal IP address, supposedly making the VPN server “visible” to the internet. I, however, cannot seem to get past the router/firewall. There are settings for TCP & UDP ports, which the only one I have enabled is TCP port 1723. I’m sure there are more, can anyone help here? Also, on the remote side; How do I connect to a specific port #, or does the VPN client know what to do? Thanks for your answers in advance..
Bill
