A few of you might remember i had this problem a while back...

but now i have a new DSL modem/router Linksys AG241

set up with the network like this....


Server 2k3 - - - - switch - - - - modem/router


but now when i try to connect i get error 721.

the modem/router allows vpn passthrough on:
PPTP
IPsec
L2TP

i have set up port forwarding on these to the server IP address...
1723 tcp
1701 udp
4500 udp
500 udp
50 tcp
51 tcp

still no joy!

anyone know what else i can try?

couldnt see them filtering out VPN ports mate, they normally just filter stuff like netbios related ports cause of worms and stuff.

BT provide all our lines here at work... they block all ports on Business links exept the basic HTTP, FTP etc. Ring then and ask them, if they have them blocked you need to put in a major change request and have them do it at the exchange (takes forever with BT!)

BT have not blocked PPTP or L2TP ports. or so they say

i can connect internally no problem with both PPTP and L2TP with IPsec.

but it just seems that when the request gets passed through the router/modem the server doesnt send the reply back through the same route.
