Guest Mark Lewis Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I have a PC connected at my office which is always on with ADSL, I've set it up to accept incoming connection via the internet, on my PC at home I've enabled a VPN connection to the fixed IP at the office but it won't connect error no answer Do I need to open or forward ports on the router ? or is the case what I'm trying to do not possible? Thanks for your time. Mark

You should start by testing the VPN from within your office. When you get it working, try it from your home.
