   George Bolgar to All   
   Is PPTP from inside NAT possible?   
   21 Feb 05 01:03:44   
   
   From: ggb.news@bolgar.co.uk   
      
   I have a D-Link DI-804HV VPN router, and an Hayes-Zoom X3 ADSL   
   router/ADSL modem.   
      
   What I would like to do is use the 804HV to terminate PPTP connections   
   coming from other Windows clients on the Internet (using the Windows   
   2000/XP capability to create VPN tunnels from the network settings dialogs).   
      
   I believe the conventional thing to do would be to set the X3 in bridge   
   mode, and then let the 804HV do receive all the traffic from the X3.   
      
   For various reasons, partly to allow ease of testing of the set up, I   
   have tried keep the X3 in router mode, setting the 804HV with a 10.*   
   (static address, not DHCP) address, and designating the 804HV as a   
   virtual server on the X3, receiving all traffic for ports 1723 and 500.   
      
   At present, the remote site seems to be able to make an initial   
   connection on port 1723, but is unable to log on to the VPN, but returns   
   an error 678 - "No answer".   
      
   Is the configuration I am trying to achieve doable, or am I asking the   
   impossible?   
      
   With thanks,   
      
   George.
