There's a couple of things I don't get. Specifically: The internal ip has always been fixed to .13 and the external ip has always been dynamic (until I moved to UPC), so I don't see where the vpn consistently got the .2 and .3 ip addresses, and it _was_ consistent! Also, current router...

Unfortunately I don't have enough expertise or knowledge on the matter. There were limited settings on the old Creative router, but the Cisco one has multiple menus most of which go way over my head. Besides, there were no settings in the router menu or vpn properties that stipulated a server...

Yeah, sorry. Should have been clearer. This is a vpn that I set up with my old equipment and service provider. Now I've moved to a new service provider who have given me a wireless router and I'm having the problems outlined above. All help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. Having recently moved house and service provider, the client / server ip details (in taskbar connection icon) have changed when I dial in. I used to have 192.168.1.3 for the server and 192.168.1.2 for the client. Now, however, the client and server have been assigned something...

Hi. I have a desktop running XP Pro and a laptop running Vista Business. I'm trying to msg the Vista laptop over the VPN but I get a message back saying the laptop "does not exist or is disconnected". I get this message even though the VPN connection works fine and I can view the laptop...

Hi. Has anyone ever experienced a situation where printing a small text file (say about 100kb) grows to 2.5mb when spooled over a vpn to a printer connected directly to the host machine? Any idea what's causing this and how to stop it? Thanks.

Thanks a million. That worked a treat. :) Why MS can't make this advice more readily available is beyond me. Thanks again!

Thanks for the pointers, but I'm lost now. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I'm not getting anywhere no matter what I change. Where would you start if you were able to connect, but couldn't view computers / files over the vpn. Thanks.

Thanks. I'm a bit lost. At the moment, I'm using dyndns updater to keep the ip address up to date. However, I've tried testing the connection using the ip address provided at a given time by whatismyip.com and again although I can make the connection, I can't see the computer or folders when...

Hi. I'm new to vpn's and need some help getting mine to work. I'll try to set out the relevant information as best I can, but will add to as requested. Server: XP Pro behind Creative Netblaster router. Client: Vista Business connected via hotspots. Server IP Address fixed and forwarded...
