Re: Vpn Setup Problems

Ah, right, now I get you.

On the 3Com router under VPN you should enable the L2TP/IPSec server. When you select the L2TP server it will I think show another box in which you need to enter a "machine password"... or some name like that.

In windows it's a bit more tricky to find this setting - set up a VPN connection, then under the properties for the connection you have to click the 'security' tab then there is a button marked "IPSec Settings..." which you then click "use pre-shared key for authentication" and enter that machine password in the box. Now OK all the boxes, put your username/password in the connect dialog and hit 'connect' and hopefully it will go. If not, post the 3Com unit's log files (feel free to obscure any IP addresses/passwords shown in the files)

Note that you should have UDP ports 500 and 4500 allowed outbound at your work or the 3Com unit won't receive the data.

Good luck,
Bob
