Setup PPTP server on
windows XP
----------
Hello,
I am trying
to setup a PPTP server on
my XP machine, following
the (numerous) tutorials
I found online.
My
setup is the following:
XP machine --- linksys
router --- cable
modem
1) On the XP
machine: I created a new
VPN Incoming connection,
and allowed it to assign
addresses in the range of
the router's addresses,
but not in the DHCP.
(i.e. my router's IP
addressing ranges
192.168.1.0 through
192.168.1.200, but the
DHCP assigns only from
192.168.1.100 and up, so
I configured the VPN to
assign addresses in the
192.168.1.50 to
192.168.1.60
range).
2) On the XP
machine: I opened TCP
port 1723 on my windows
firewall.
3) On the
linksys router: I
forwarded TCP 1723 to my
XP machine
4) On the
linksys router: I enabled
PPTP
passthrough
When I
go to work, I cannot
connect to the VPN with a
XP machine, but I am able
to connect with my Mac OS
laptop: I get to
authenticate, etc and
then I see the connection
being established.
However, if I enable the
"send all traffic through
VPN", I completely lose
all
connectivity.
Things I
checked:
1) My XP
machine at home has full
connectivity
2) When
the VPN is up, I can ping
only the XP machine where
the PPTP server is (using
internal addresses), but
none of the other
devices.
I am out
of ideas. I think I am
really close from having
this setup, but I can't
figure out what my next
step should
be.
Thanks for
your help,
JL |
