VPN Issues
Hi,
Configure your Computer to Accept VPN Connections in Windows 7 - Tips & Tweaks
I followed the steps above to setup a VPN on my windows 7 64bit prof server. If I attempt to connect to it via the wifi aspect of the network (using it's 192.168 Ip), I can connect just fine. I am using PPTP security.
If I try to access it from another Wifi spot (starbucks, school, etc) or at&t 3g, all I get is a message saying the connection could not be established to the PPP computer.
I enabled port forwarding in my router to the IP of the server ( 1723, 47). That still didn't work. So I enabled DMZ for that local Ip, still no luck.
I am using the correct password and username for sure (I intentionally typed it wrong and got an error message saying it was wrong when I was connecting from starbucks). The external Ip of my home network is correct as well.
Does anyone have any advice (yes I did tick the box that talks about allowing for internet sharing when I setup the VPN).
