NAT to an internal PPTP server

daneke

Hi,

I am somewhat new with the product, so I hope this question is not too lame.

I have a Windows 2003 pptp server inside the network. I can connect clients to it just fine.

Outside is a different story. I have 1723 tpc and 47 gre pointed at the internal server 192.168.0.2

The clients can't connect.

thanks

Take a look at:
VPN –> PPTP

PPTP redirection
Enter the IP address of a host which will accept incoming PPTP connections.

I guess I don't understand the comment…sorry.

here is what is on the firewall:

NAT
WAN TCP 1723 (PPTP) 192.168.0.2 (ext.: 63.193.11.14) 1723 (PPTP)

WAN GRE 47 192.168.0.2 (ext.: 63.193.11.14) 47 PPTP

RULES:
TCP * 1723 (PPTP) 192.168.0.2 1723 (PPTP) * Route to MS VPN

GRE * * 192.168.0.2 * * NAT PPTP

I have plenty of other services on that Windows server that work fine, like rdp

Thanks!

I dont use PPTP personally so i'm not really sure.
But just do as in my first post :)

There you have the option to forward PPTP connection attempts to a server.
With this you could avoid to have to add NAT forwardings manually.

I did try this.

Same issue.

Sorry for the bother.

I notice I cannot ping anything either. Is there a way to allow the firewall to be pinged?

Did you delete the portforwards and rules before you used the pptp>vpn setting? You can allow oings on the firewal by creating a pass icmp firewallrule at the desired interface.

Comcast is blocking pptp. I went to the customer remote site and connected perfectly.

Thanks for the help
