If anyone out there has some clues, it would be GREAT! I'm real tired
of beating my head against the wall on this.

Doctor's office gets a new EMR (electronic medical records) system and
wants VPN from home. Simple Right!

VPN server is at the office. Connection is available from other sites
(namely my cable access).

Dr has Linksys WRT54R wireless router (new - was using and 11mps router
and wanted more speed). Getting to the internet is not a problem.
Getting to the VPN connection just won't work. I have opened ports 47
and 1723 on the router and enabled VPN on the router. I've updated to
the latest firmware on the router and run Linksys' net check program
which said the router was fine.

I took a tablet, that worked just fine at home connecting via VPN to
two different sites and tunneled right thru. However, I can't get this
to work on the Verizon DSL connection (actually, I quickly tried to
open a vpn at another verizon DSL site and had no problems.

I've spend hours on the phone with Linksys and they question Verizon
now.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, in advance, for your time!

Have you tried doing some port scans to see if Verizon is filtering?

You mean the WRT54GR right? Find an enable the PPTP pass-through on
your Linksys. Restart the router, and from there, go back to the XP
computer; enter the following at the command prompt:

telnet <public address or name> 1723

So you're telnetting into the remote port 1723. If you get a blank
screen with a solid cursor, then you're golden and should have no
problems connecting.

Hope that helps!
