Re: wrt54g with vpn pptp server behind it
I installed version 2.00.8.1h.wfb. It doesn't not work. Hangs at u/p validation 721. Even putting the server onto the DMZ did not work either.
Can you explain what settings you need? Or is the factory defaults for this hacked firmware ok? Did you set the VPN server to enabled?

The Q | The only thing I have set is under Applications&Gaming->Server Profiles->Server PPTP is checked and forwarded to the IP of my server. Don't enable anything under the VPN Server tab. |

I have Wifi's H version and it works with my Win2K Server based VPN.
Also, if you are placing the server in the DMZ and it still isnt working, that would indicate a configuration issue on the server. Even in the old Linksys firmwares, my Win2K Server VPN would work while in DMZ mode, but never behind the router. Linksys never cared enough to fix it for whatever reason. Luckily the hacked firmwares floating around now solved the issue for me.
Lastly, simply opening up port 1723 will NOT make a VPN server work. GRE 47 must also to be forwarded to the same host in order for VPN to work. You can shell into the router to make that happen, or use Wifi's solution instead. |

@sarcom.com | I tested the VPN configuration by making a VPN connection from the another workstation on the lan. The connection worked as expected. Therefore, all signs point to the Linksys---however placing the machine in the DMZ did not work. |

| I had the exact same problem. W2K VPN would work locally but not through the router even after WiFi firmware upgrade. It turns out that I've also forwarded IPSEC to my Win2K server under Applications&Gaming->server Profiles->server IPSEC. Disabling it solved the problem. I guess the VPN client is trying both protocols (PPTP and IPSEC) to connect to the server and failing during IPSEC authentication because you don't have the required certificates on your server (this is my assumption and I may be wrong, but as I said not forwarding IPSEC to the server corrected the problem). |

Same probs as WifiOnlooker: "I tested the VPN configuration by making a VPN connection from the another workstation on the lan. The connection worked as expected. Therefore, all signs point to the Linksys---however placing the machine in the DMZ did not work."
AND turning the Linksys's firewall totally off doesn't get me there, either. Win2003 server. Like pc319, I'm "The only thing I have set is under Applications&Gaming->Server Profiles->Server PPTP is checked and forwarded to the IP of my server. Don't enable anything under the VPN Server tab."
Using Wifi-box.net Release Version: 2.00.8.1h.wfb 15/01/2004. Almost ready to commit ritualistic suicide.

The Q | Try version pre6-i, that's the version I've been using for a couple of months now. |

| Thank you.
pre6-i did it.
I'm typing this now via dial up with a secure connection to the VPN.
Thank you. And thank you wifi.
