You may want to try this
----------
Hi! What do you mean you
can't see any drive that
is shared? Do you mean
like you are trying to
browse them on your
network neighborhood?
This is possible but with
the router's latest
firmware version. For the
mean time, you may want
to try doing this: Go to
Start-Run then type //
then the IP address of
the computer you are
trying to access from a
remote location. Just
trying to help. Good
luck! |

connecting to(which is
the ip address of the
router that was given by
isp).I also tryed to run
// from the ip address of
the pc locally
192.168.1.100 nothing.it
says there are no logon
servers available.after I
make the conection what
is the real advantage to
using a vpn pc to pc?

However, there is an

Just clearing things out
----------
Hi! May I ask waht kind
of linksys routers are
you using from both sides
of the tunnel? If you are
using a BEFSR41 then you
also need to enable PPTP
together with IPSec
Passthrough. Plus, you
need to forward the ports
that is being used by the
VPN Client Software that
you are using. Then try
again the start-run //
then the IP address of
the computer you want to
access. However, if you
are using linksys VPN
router (BEFVP41), then
you don't have to forward
any port, plus you don't
need the VPN client
software anymore. You
just have to check if the
computers you are
accessing is included in
your remote secure group.
You can check that on the
VPN Tab of the router's
config utility. |

BEFSR41
----------
I am using a linksys
BEFSR41 at both ends I
have Ispec and pptp

thought with a software
VPN you didn't have to
worry about ports? what
ports do i open for
windows 2000 to windows
2000?
Thanks
Again!!
you have been
very helpful and I

YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME!
----------
Since you are using both
linksys routers to
establish a VPN
connection, you may want
to try setting the L2TP
ports to 0, i think that
is an option found on VPN
client software itself.
Because i think linksys
routers only support PPTP
and IPSec. That is why
you have to set in the
VPN software that you are
just utilizing PPTP and
IPSec, not L2TP. For more
information on
troubleshooting this
router-to-router VPN
setup, try this
URL:
http://suppor
t.microsoft.com/search/pr
eview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;
Q308208#3
With
regards to the ports that
is needed to be
forwarded, you may check
on the software itself. I
think windows 2000 VPN
Server software is
capable of establishing
VPN without a router.
However, that is quite
complicated. Please post
what are the results you
got after trying my
suggestion, so we can dig
a little more on this
problem and try another
option if this still
does'nt work. Thanks for
appreciating my
suggestions. |

Try also forwarding UDP
Port 500 on both sides of
the tunnel. |

Server Or Proff?
----------
Hi:
Correct me
if i'm wrong
I am
running 2 windows 2000
proff machines can i set
up a vpn from one to the
other or do i need to be
running windows 2000
server?I guess what I'm
asking is Can a windows
2000 proff machine be a
vpn server? There doesn't
seem to be anywhere to
setup the vpn server
settings in the routing
and remote access from
windows 2000 proff.

Win2K prof to Win2K prof
VPN
----------
Hi! This time, I wanna
make sure this article
that I'll be referring to
you could really help
you. And, yes! You can
setup a VPN connection
using Windows 2000
Professional. Try this
URL,
http://support.microsoft.
com/default.aspx?scid=kb;
EN-US;q257333#6
I
hope this one could
finally help you.
By
the way, here are the
ports that should be
forwarded: UDP 500, 1723
and 47. Windows 2000
proff is only capable of
establishing one VPN
connection at a time. The
server i am referring to
is not Windows 2000
Server. What i meant
using the word server is
that one end of the VPN
tunnel should be acting
as a VPN server and the
other end as a VPN
client. Sorry, if I
confused you.

HI:
That is the
exact artical i used to
setup up the VPN.It says
that i connected
successfully and i see an
icon at the bottom of the
screen that say's I'm
Connected But, i cant see
any shared resources or
folders.I tryed //ip
address i tryed UNC
shared names through
explorer i also tryed
network neighborhood
there is nothing there
but my local shares.I
nevere opened any ports
on the router I will try
that.Although it seems to
me that I would have
never have connected had
they not been
opened.
Thanks
Again!

Question
----------
Hi! I wanna make sure of
one thing before I give
you one solution that I
have right now. After
having the VPN
connection, have you
initially logged on to
the computer and tried
working offline? Have you
heard anything about
cached
credentials?
Please
let me know your answers
so that I would know if
this one thing on my mind
could work. |

cached credentials?
----------
Hi:
No i am
not familiar with cached
credentials.Are you
talking about setting
files to be accessable
when offline? If i logon
after the vpn I will lose
the connection? Heres my
steps i logon to my
domain or local pc then i
click on the dialup vpn
client i setup and make a
connection to the remote
pc acting as the vpn
server.
