Post #104,217 by boxley 5/30/03 11:39:43 PM Reply	no ppoe is not a vpn just that when installing the software for my verizon setup on a compaq laptop with xp it indicated a vpn was being used to connect me to the internet. On my mac it is a straight ppoe connection, ppoe== point to point over ethernet connectivity. Unfortunately most places that use vpn prefer a public address to public address connection without having to go between a proxy and heartily deny support for proxied net addy's it isnt impossible but requires more work on the providers side to accomplish this which is why it isnt supported very well. If work was supplying the connection it would be easy but with a different provider who has to "pipe" the vpn to you and maintain the connection end to end it is considered extry work. If you had dialup it is a no brainer or many companies use uunet to provide the connectivity to do the vpn end to end. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] questions, help?

Well, I don't know how it works with the direct connection, but through the linksys router, it's just using standard ppoe to make the connection. None of the Verizon software gets used...

Problem is, it's hard to test a vpn connection from within the network you're trying to connect to... :) I think the problem may simply be that XP's VPN tools are funky. Maybe I'll have to call Microsoft tech support. shudder "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young

Post #104,483 by cwbrenn 6/2/03 9:33:46 AM Reply	LOL The problem was that the login id and password they set up for me had mysteriously "disappeared." I guess they had to restore from an earlier backup, or something. Hopefully that will solve the problem. :) "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young
