RE: VPN & PPPoE

["Price, Mark G Contr ANG/C4" <Mark.Price () ang af mil>]

Paul,

I had the same problem (XP, DSL). I was trying to connect to my company's
intranet using Nortel VPN s/w. What I have found, I had the firewall setup
on my XP box. I had to disable it in order to make a VPN connection.

Paul,

I haven't had this problem before, but I would have to at least guess that
the problem is with the wireless router. Maybe it is filtering traffic or
causing some other problem. If you haven't done so already, try connecting
the pc directly to the dsl and see if that makes a difference or forward all
ports to the computer connected to the router. Hope this helps.

Jeff
