Doesn't work: Local WinXP to Remote WinNT Server Works: Remote WinXP to Local Win2000 Server While I'm at it, do I want the tcpdump for eth1 or ipsec0 (I assume not ppp0 since it's all encrypted, but wasn't sure.) Another note I wanted to repeat just in case it was important and overlooked in my 1st message of this lengthy thread. When I restart PPPoE (locally), in the course of the connection establishing I get messages to the effect of "Cant't increase MTU to 1500" serveral times. That may not be the exact message, because I can't see it in the logs when I reboot the router remotely. Thanks for all the support. - Todd ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
