You setup the Linksys to pass thru PPTP (Port 1723 on the DHCP'd WAN IP address) to what ever the IP address is of your E-smith server? Most equipment (I am not familiar with the Linksys) the WAN IP can be 0.0.0.0 in the pass thru setup. The other IP address in the pass thru setup should be the IP address that you E-smith server uses on its connection to the Linksys router. If you do not specify that IP address it will not work. Good Luck. Gilbert T.

Finally, was tipped off here to unplug the power from the dsl modem and replug it in. This reset it and it connected fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Albee" To: "PLUG" Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 9:55 PM Subject: PPTP, E-smith, Linksys Router I have a E-smith server setup on a private network (192.168.1.*) that connects to the Internet using NAT on a Linksys Router (with the latest updates). I have the E-smith server setup to allow PPTP connections and it works just fine from any host on the LAN side of the Linksys router, yet no matter how many different ways I configure the Router, I cannot seem to make a full connection to the server (it hangs on verifying user name and password....). I have searched the Internet for information on this yet I find differing responses. Is this even possible with this router? With Linksys, does PPTP passthru mean that it is only one way? -John ________________________________________________ See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail.
