Hi Jason, Thank you for the reply. Some clarifications: 1)I'm the admin in both sites. 2)The VPN I'm trying to access is outside my LAN (remote location). 3)Accessing that VPN from elsewhere gives me no problems at all. Hence I don't have any IP restrictions on that VPN. The remote site VPN is based on a VIGOR 2600VG router: http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2600v.html 4) On my site (@work) I have monowall with a very basic configuration. Only a couple of open ports for some applications and that's about it. I haven't specifically instructed monowall to do egress filtering. Version: 1.1 My XP client is not on DMZ. It's just one of the hosts that belong to the main LAN subnet. I believe that PPTP request is reaching the remote site but it cannot receive back a response from it. This must be true because when I'connecting from home the XP client works perfect. At home there is only a router with NO Firewall. Simple NAT setup...BUT I have enabled the option "VPN Passthrough". I presume that opening some ports will solve it. Chris --- Jason King <jking at informs dot com> wrote: > First, the VPN you are trying to get to from behind > the m0n0wall.
