Ive tried going to www.cups.org and www.easysw.com but can't seem to get connected. Can anyone else manage this ? thanks dids
I have a SuSE Linux 7.2 Server connected via Cable-Modem to the Internet. It's running SUSEFirewall and masquerading for my internal network which is mostly Windows 2000. One of the Win2000 machines would like to VPN across the Internet to another Win2000 server. First shot out of the box, this didn't work :) Is this possible, first of all? Secondly, can anyone give me any hints/tips/caveats? I really just need a push in the right direction (terms, acronyms, resources), I'm pretty good with leg-work and research, but I'm not sure where to begin, being a Linux n00b. Many thanks, John Marquardt marquardt@mindspring.com

Yes, it's possible.... Are you logging your firewall hits? If so, check for access to the firewall that has been denied or dropped. These will give you the port numbers that it is trying to access. Hint: Think 500 and protocol 50 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

You have to open port 1723 on your firewall and redirect traffic on that port to your Win machine.
