Re: VPN Question

What's the VPN error code or error message? Also check the VPN host event
viewer for any error. Or check this search result.

BEFSR41 is VPN router. It should work. In most cases, VPN error is port
issue. Can you telnet port 1723? If you use Windows VPN, you may want to

the outer. This search result may help too. Please post back with the
result.

And something else, are there some settings I may be missing in the
router? I have all the VPN options enabled. But, could I be missing
some remote access option or something? Do you know if the Linksys
routers have that?
