VPN over Cable

pc tech 282 · January 4th, 2001, 02:09 AM

Systems Configuration:
PII 400
256 MB SDRAM
20 G ATA/66 HD
NT Back Office /SP-6a
Cable Modem

Problem:
Set up RAS w/VPN properly (at least I think!) as I can VPN into the server from the internal network; but if connected to my other ISP (dial-up) and try to VPN into throughthe internet, I get a message saying the other computer isn't answering. What gives?

Fist thing is first; I would verify a path to the remote host (VPN server) by doing a traceroute. Verify that packets are actually making it there. If they are not making it there it could be due to a firewall or router misconfiguration and that would be the problem. If the packets are making it there okay try an extended ping to verify a good connection. Without detailed information on your current configuration it is really hard to say, could be any number of things. I hope this will help you.
