I have a small network at home, I use a proxy server to share the internet. All machines (4) have access to the internet. My problem is when I bring my Windows 2000 Laptop home, I have internet connection, but I cannot make a VPN connection with my server at work.

It appears that we talked to the server, but the connection hangs, then gets dropped. If anyone has any idea, I will be greatly appreciated. We are in the first stage of deploying VPN to our telecommuters, and mobile users.

You will not be able to use IPSec VPN behind a proxy server, it will fail to authenticate the IP. You can, however, use PPTP VPN.

I was able to connect to my VPN once I configured the DNS setting which is the IP of the proxy server.

Thanks for your answer
