VPN starting connecting authenticating and disconnecting same time
Okay so I am trying to setup a VPN for my iphone. ive set it up via the windows built in server. I set my comps IP to static and port-forwarded the vpn port of 1723 to my comp IP. also enabled vpn in my router. and just to be sure I tried disabling windows firewall. no matter what I have done so far whether Im on wifi or cellular my iphone nor my wifes (iphone) work. They both display "starting, connecting, authenticating and disconnecting" one after the other in a matter of 3-5 seconds. So Its like I get a connection but it cant fully authenticate. i have know clue as to why though. I am about 90% certain its not my iphone which is why im posting here and not some iphone forum. it could be my router but Id like to make certain its not windows first because I cant flash my router to dd-wrt as it belongs to my isp so I'd have to call them and swap it out and blah blah blah.... so, any suggestions, thoughts? I've done this before with another model iphone and a different router so either I'm forgetting a few steps or something just isnt the same. oh and im using pptp i think.
edit: also when I run netstat -a it says that windows is listening for vpn connection on "0.0.0.0:1723". Shouldnt it have and IP other than 0.0.0.0? I have 192.168.0.19 on 1723 set for the port-forward.... and my router wont let me set 0.0.0.0 as the IP.
