| Help hosting VPN with DSL - 504 |
|---|
| message from rp2000 on 12 Jan 2003 |
Hello,
I have a dlink dsl 504 router with R2.21.002.05.b2t13uk firmware.
I have NAT enabled, DMZ disabled, DHCP enabled.
router is 192.168.0.1on LAN /BT IP address on WAN
192.168.0.3 is MY pc on static IP
other 2 pcs are on DHCP 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.6
only pc i am concerned with is mine. Have had router for a while so know a
bit about it. I run ftp server sometimes on my pc. SO I have forwarded
ports 20 + 21 to my 192.168.0.3 pc and all works fine. SO I KNOW my port
forwarding works.
Now. I want two things I wan to host a VPN and connect to one. I am
assuming connecting to one shouldnt need any settings as its an outgoing
connection. I connect to my mates one OK i think.
I know want to host one. I use win2k pro and have the relvenat Incoming
connection setup for VPN. Now my mate types in IP address and obviously his
signal gets to my router na dthen router doesnt know which PC to forward VPN
request to.
DO i just need to forward a range of ports to my pc from router? Or is it
more complicated than this.
IN Configuration??NAT ALGs on router web page I have IPSEC and PPTP ticked
as well.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not tell me to search groups.google.com, gfot
btofaq.net etc. I ahve done all this and am asking here cos i cant find
this info. From a few posts on google I have ascertained ppl can host VPN
with this router, they just never specify how it is done.
Realistically fdont botehr replying to this thread unless you own/have
owbned this router aAND have got VPN working. cheers.

Win2000 Pro won't act as a VPN host out of the box - you need Win2000
Server or an add-on package for that.
Unfortunately, you can't tell the 504 to forward specific IP
protocols, so you need to set the DMZ to your VPN host machine.

NO. My mate has Windows 200 Pro. So do I. I can VPN to him. So Win2k
does support it out of the box. You go to make new connection and you have
two options that relate to VPN. "Dial up to private network" to connect
out. "Accept incoming connections" lets you host a server. So this bit is
not in dispute. I have tried this DMZ setting. the router has a drop down
to select enabled/disabled for DMZ, below this is a box to enter the IP u
want. BUT you can't fill in these boxes. I thought it may be browser issue
but I got my mate to try it through remote access for the router config page
but he cant either. May be a bug in the firmware. The boxes just stay as
0.0.0.0 and you can highlight but cant change. maybe an error in the html
page?
Will have to call D-Link support see if I have the correct firmware.

Win2k pro can VPN out but NOT VPN IN. You will need Win2k server's remote
access server for this.
The incoming connection you see is for a straight dial in or direct cable
connection like parallel.
You must be connecting to your mate a different way.

Incoming connections
By creating an incoming connection, a computer running Windows 2000
Professional or stand-alone Windows 2000 Server can act as a remote access
server. You can configure an incoming connection to accept the following
connection types: dial-up (modem, ISDN, X.25), virtual private network (VPN)
(PPTP, L2TP), or direct (serial, infrared). On a computer running Windows
2000 Professional, an incoming connection can accept up to three incoming
calls, up to one of each of these types. On a computer running Windows 2000
Server, the number of inbound calls is only limited by the computer and its
hardware configuration. For information about earlier versions of Windows NT
Server (and other operating systems) that can connect to an incoming
connection, see Incoming connection clients.
Clearly it is possible ;)

When you try and configure this, it only offers you connections on a
modem/isdn/adsl DIAL up.
How would you set it up to work from behind a router?
