I am just giving them enough credit to blame someone else... And
enough fault that if it's provable that a simple setting change would
fix it, then they shouldn't get paid... Which is pretty much all the
time when it comes to Geek squad... I wouldn't let them set up a pair
of speakers... & why I know Chuck had nothing for liability for them
not fixing it.

you do a test to see if it is the MTU settings in the VPN and PPOE.
If it turns out that it is fixable via settings in the VPN
software, then the customer should tell the Geek squad that they
should not charge and it's not your problem. Geek squad should have
figured it out with settings. Then if it's not that pay for Geek
squad. You get to learn something for your expense. But be sure
and specify that this is a one time deal...

Was it never working.
If the latter I'd say not a chance of reimbursement. They
should be super happy that their provider came up with a
solution for them that fast to work around what is most likely
their faulty VPN setup.

We are not sure as we don’t want to experiment on him now. ____
____
Just trying to determine if we feel we have a moral duty to
reimburse him for his geek squad expenses. ____
If his VPN is not robust enough for PPPOE, I don’t feel much
compulsion.____
But if this is common problem and we should have known it,
then that
is a different kettle of kittens. ____

Was his MTU a factor? He would manually have to set it on the
router behind the PPPoE connection.____
The limitation would have evaporated when converted to
DHCP.____

Yeah Chuck, we went back and forth with Time Warner getting
them to
open ports on router for cameras...upgraded NVR and used vendor
platform access to finally give manager remote access and
monitoring
to camp cameras. ____
