   I'm having trouble getting a VPN to work with my router and win2k and am   
   wondering if somebody here can tell me what I am doing wrong.   
      
   What I did:   
      
   On the router, enabled port forwarding:   
      
   Ipsec, port 500 to 500, TCP and UDP, to my machine's IP (192.168.1.88)   
   PPTP, port 1723 to 1723, TCP and UDP, to my machine's IP (192.168.1.88)   
   GRE, port 47 to 47, TCP and UDP, to my machine's IP (192.168.1.88)   
      
   IPSEC and PPTP pass through are both enabled.   
   Block WAN request is enabled.   
   Multicast Pass through is disabled.   
      
   On my workstation (win2k pro) I created a new network connection by   
   selecting "accept incoming connections", and so forth.  I have an account on   
   my machine with limited priveleges for use with the VPN.   
      
   When I try to connect locally over the LAN using the 192.168.1.88 IP   
   address, everything works fine.  But when I try to connect from home using   
   the static IP of the router, I get error 721.   
      
   Am I making a minor mistake or am I totally unclear on the concept?   
      
   Thanks in advance.
