Hi there!
I'm setting up a small office network for my brother and he wants to be able to access it from home. He has a Mac Mini Server setup in his office with VPN service running. When connected directly to the network, I can enter in the servers IP 192.168.100.150 for the host address and connect to VPN without any issues. When I try to connect from home, it times out and can not reach the server. Currently the setup is: SMC Comcast business class modem --> Netgear WGR614v9 router --> Server/Cleints. I have set the comcast modem to forwarded the ports 500,1701,4500 UDP and 1723 TCP to the Netgears static IP. Then, I have those same ports being forwarded from the Netgear router to the Mac mini servers static IP. From home, when I enter in the static external IP for the office, the VPN will not connect and times out. I did a scan with NMap on the external IP of the office and it showed that port 1723 was being filtered and wasn't closed or anything, which I think should be correct. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this working? Thanks for your time!
