I have 2 computers (a desktop and a laptop) connected to a wireless broadband
router (Level One WBR-2400TX) via LAN - not WiFi. It says in the manual that

'VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking)
software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no
configuration is required.'

I even have my own hostname to use my internet connection ip address.

Put the laptop aside. I have set up an 'Incoming Connections' on my desktop
(Windows XP Pro SP2). I created a username and password for testing purposes.
I tried on my friend's computer (XP SP2) to establish a VPN but I failed.
It's written there

error 800 (Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be
unreachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly for this
connection.).

How can I fix this problem? Thank you.

sounds like TCP port 1723 or IP port 47 issues. Since this is PPTP pass through, I would check the port 1723 first.

RAS error code

Hey Robert..
Thanks for the tip but my Windows Firewall accept VPN via port 1723 as u
mention. I'm using dynamic dns for my internet connection. In the 'connect to
host name or ip address', should it be inserted 'izzeraizam.dyndns.org' cause
i did that it doesnt work.
