Hi

I am trying to setup a VPN over my network so I can connect to my
network from outside home.

I'm having the following configuration:

ADSL Modem: SpeedTouch Home configured as a bridge (factory settings).
Router: D-Link 804
Behind the router are few PC's and a network printer.
OS: WinXP Pro

I setup Incoming VPN connection in XP Pro and a DynDns address to my
network.
A DirectUpdate client is updating the IP.

 When trying to connect to the above configuration from another PC
running XP Home
and a VPN connection (setup by WinXP Home) it cannot connect returning
error 800.

 My questions are:

1. How can I know if the SpeedTouch Home is passing the PPTP connection
to the network?
2. How it will know to what PC it should connect in the network? How do
I redirect it to a certain PC?
        Do I need to forward the VPN connection in the router to
particular PC?
3. Do I have to open any ports in the router?
 
Thank you

John Ross
