It worked I had to only add another VPN port. It was set to allow only one caller to come in at a time.
Thanks for all your help guys.

I did that with phone lines through the internet though . I cant test the two laptops that are connected to the router because they are at home connected through a cable modem. I will test it out when I get home and crossing my finger I hope it works. I have to have this done tomorrow (deadline). They only gave me three days notice to set this up. -----Original Message----- From: Allan Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 5:09 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: I have no other place to go Would'nt you know it, one of my few posts to this list and its not about exchange.... Anyway I was going to setup a client with MS PPTP/RRAS Vpn behind a linksys (same model), but discovered this Netopia R910 router (about $100 more) supports PPTP VPN connections at the router. Along with some nifty Router to Router tunneling. Just FYI (no connection to the company) http://www.netopia.com/support/technotes/hardware/NQG_022.html For what it's worth I think your 2nd VPN connection was failing because you had only the 1 defined VPN port configured.

I got internet connection with them. Then when I connected one laptop to the VPN it worked. And when I tried the second one it gave me error 781: Im not sure if there is a firewall in the linksys router. Otherwise Im not behind a firewall. 2598 > Windows 2000 VPN connection generates error 781 - Encryption failed because no valid certificate was found? When you attempt to establish a VPN connection to a VPN server, you receive: Error 781 Encryption failed because no valid certificate was found. This can occur on a new connection or on one that previously worked. The error is produced because the connection is incomplete. You should: 1. Verify basic network connectivity between the client and the server. 2. Make sure that you have name resolution between the client and the server. 3. Use the Networking and TCP/IP troubleshooter in the Windows 2000 Help. -----Original Message----- From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 3:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: I have no other place to go Oh, and you're running NAT on the Linux Firewall Router right? What kind of firewall is the VPN server sitting behind? Some VPN connections don't work over NAT. That could be your biggest problem right there. -----Original Message----- From: Don Ely [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 12:22 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: I have no other place to go One VPN port for 10 users????

Linksys didnt even help their tech supports SUX. If anyone can figure out the below I will give the a scoobie snack. I have a linksys Router 8 port model #BEFSR81 its a cable/dsl router. The problem I have is to connect two remote users in New Jersey to a server in New York to a VPN/RAS connection. I can connect one person to the VPN/RAS but the other computer can not connect at the same time due to an error 781. The two computers that are trying to connect have windows 2000 pro. The sever has windows NT 4.0 SP4 with one VPN port and 10 callers allowed. Is there a way to connnect these computers at the same time to our VPN? If not do I have to purchase a different type of hardware to accomplish this connection? All help would be great. Linksys told me to do fowarding but that didnt work and I cant find anything related to nt4 about this error 781.
