My best guess is this: many companies are now filtering out IPSEC ports 50, 51 and 500 to keep VPN off their networks, unless you pay a premium. Comcast is one of the culprits, which has a major impact to many customers. Standard cable internet service is $30 a month, their pro service which does nothing more but pass these ports and allow you to host if you are so inclined. The moral to this story, if there is one, is that connection services are no longer going to offer the free ride that the 'Net is famous for. Time to change the business model, again. -----Original Message----- From: "Galeotos, John" <[email protected]> Sent: Oct 1, 2003 9:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [VPN] VPN and broadband. Hello, Mostly I just read the list and try to digest the information, but currently I've run into a situation where I could use some help. We have one user that has never been able to access the VPN using his Bresnan broadband account. I have several users that utilize the same service and have never run into any problems. I suspect it is something physical at his home, whether it is cabling or something similar. This is coming from a stance of very limited knowledge about his set up. We did look at the laptop and we were able to get VPN'd in using dial up ISP. We are using Cisco client on XP laptops and this is the only PC that has had any problems. Possibly a network config problem? Any idea where I should go next? Just troubleshooting here so any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. John E.
