I have a remote e-smith server behind a DSL link, I have pinholed port 1723/TCP and 500/UDP incase there was a key exchange.
My home system has an e-smith server in place behind another DSL link (both are external DSL routers).
When i try and connect to the remote VPN i get "Verifiying Username and Password" then a dissconnection/timeout.
Any ideas as to how i can resolve this problem?
In the logs i get the following...
