setting up vpn error code 800

[OlegWasHere]

so im in new territory here.
i have setup my home pc (windows xp sp3) that is on all the time to allow incoming connections and the ports through firewalls.

now this is where im confused.
im using a windows 7 laptop
and i want to use the xp internet recourses hence the vpn.

i login and it accepts my credentials but then gets stuck right after saying lost the connection.

i have a domain from comcast.
but like i said im in new territory here and not sure what to put in for the vpn.
do i put in my domain ip or my ip of my whole network?

 

[Kaktussoft]

so you can actually enter your credentials and it accepts them. Enter a wrong password and it says "invalid password" or somethiong like that? If so ... you connection to vpn is working fine. no firewall issues.

What vpn client software you use on laptopn in win7?
What vpn server on winxp? You use pptp or ipsec as protocol?

Are winxp an win7 laptop both at home so on same lan-segment (just as a test)?

well thats the thing i dont know anything besides what the how to's said.
i put in the wrong password and it still accepted it. but again got stuck on wanport.
like i said im not sure what ip to put in. my home network or my domain (which i also can login too)

Are winxp an win7 laptop both at home so on same lan-segment (just as a test)?

yes right now they are.


on the windows xp i have downloaded openvpn gui but not sure how to set it up.
and on the windows 7 nothing at all besides what comes with the os.

note* i dont have a server or anything setup just a domain name from comcast business class internet.

 

[Kaktussoft]

Are you sure you connect to the ip-adres of winxp machine? Assume on windows7 you connect to something.comcast.com. Can you try to connect to 12.12.12.12. Does it change anything? I mean does it ask for credentials? Just to check if the credentialquestion comes from vpn server.

Both are on same lan-segment now you say. Is that correct? If so: in winxp check it's ip-address. so in "command prompt" IP-config. And write down ip address. It should be someyhing like 192.168.X.y
Connect from laptop to that number
can you ping that number from win7 laptop?

 

[Kaktussoft]

go to properties of vpn connection (on win7). Goto "security" tab. VPN type: L2TP/IPSEC
click on advanced settings just below VPN type. Select preshared key and fillin that key. You use preshared key security on openvpn server?

ok well lets say i want to do that out of the same lan.
i can ping the xp machine but thats locally.
how would i ping it if i was on a different network?

well it connected(locally) but now it gives me error 720

 

[Kaktussoft]

Having vpn on one lan is stupid but this is just a test. To connect remotely form the internet you have to enter the wan ip addres of winxp machine. so on winxp goto www.myipaddress.com and that number should be filled in in remote client. If course winxp must have a static ip-address from lan-router. Just register a number for it in router's dhcp server. Something like "if network card with mac-address 11-23-AA-BB ask for ip address" give it 192.168.0.23 you understand? And forward some tcp and udp ports as well on router to winxp machine. TCP and UDP port 1194 are for openvpn

yes ive been interchanging the comcast ip and the local ip.

so you want me to go onto my router and do what exactly?
i added a pptp to my xp

i dont believe that my router has a setting for static ip
netgear wnr2000v3

but i can just set a static ip in tcip settings on the xp machine.
unless im missing something

 

[Kaktussoft]

first make it work on your local lan!! Then there are no router issues. for local lan you only use the "switch" in the router. the router does nothing with local pc to pc traffic!

 

[Kaktussoft]

If vpn server is working fine you can go on and test it remote. But what will you do finally?

• connect remote pc to vpn-server only
• connect remote pc to local lan
• connect romote lan to vpn-server only
• connect remote lan to local lan

 

[OlegWasHere]

sorry im not trying to steer away from it.

i got error 720 after i set my xp on a static ip of 192.168.1.11(which is what i put in when trying to connect to the vpn via windows 7 laptop)

 

[OlegWasHere]

bump still need help.

if someone just gives me a how too of what ip i put to connect to the vpn i think i would be alright.

the host computer is setup for incoming connection but when i set it up on my laptop im unsure on what ip to put in to connect to this home computer.

is it what i get when i go to whatsmyip or is it that with a port attachment.



edit:: i got it too connect on a home network but like stated not sure what ip to input when im on another open wifi.

also when i connected to the vpn my wifi had internet but the vpn stated no internet connection. this might be a problem.

 

[Kaktussoft]

So you were able to connect to vpn-server from your local lan is that correct? After that "also when i connected to the vpn my wifi had internet but the vpn stated no internet connection. this might be a problem. " happens on vpn-client? If so on vpn-client (still connected to vpn-server) open a "command prompt" and type:

route print -4

my final goal to what i understand im allowed to do is remote pc to lan(not my own) and connect to my vpn to access an unfiltered network. through the public wifi.

 

[Kaktussoft]

I asked you to print output of route print -4 when not connect to vpn and also when connected to vpn. Do this command on vpn-client. post output ipconfig as well (connected and disconnected to vpn)

192.168.1.1 = gateway so router
192.168.1.6= one of your network cards. You have 2!! one not connected?
192.168.1.14 is one site of tunnel? on client or server?
192.168.1.11 is one site of tunnel? on client or server?
========
client ande server are same machine??? Very difficult to debug this way
