Hi,

I have a box on my home lan serving as a gateway with prety much all
the services I need on it. It's a win2k pro workstation which I setted
to accept incomming vpn (PPTP) connexions. I use the CHX-I firewall.
When the ruleset on my firewall is disabled I can connect remotely to
my vpn server. When I enable my ruleset I get locked out. I openned
TCP 1723 but it wont work with just that port open. with 1723 open I
can connect to the server but will never get a response to the auth. I
get a checking uname/paswd dialod but is ends with a error 771 the
server didnt responded 20 secs later. I think there must be a port
range or something other than just port 1723 I need to open but I dont
know what. I will post my ruleset later if needed when I get home. All
my rules are affecting only incomming packets from the internet to my
gateway. I have absolutely no rules for outgoing traffic.

Thanks,

Martin
