Hey folks,
Here's an issue I've seen A LOT -- probably on half of the Tiger
Servers we've set up: PPTP works fine, L2TP doesn't even allow
connections to initiate.
what ports are open?
It's not a port issue, but a protocol issue. You need additional
*protocols* aside from TCP and UDP (which have concepts of ports)
open to do LT2P, IPSec, etc.
Depending on the OP's configuration, it very well could be a ports
issue.
He can have all the TCP ports he wants open but if he doesn't have the
additional *protocols* open that are required it makes not a rat
turd's worth of difference. LT2P requires additional *protocols* to be
open.
So yes, he could have TCP ports blocked, but fixing that won't fix his
problem.
Since he claims the connection won't even initiate that suggests the
protocols isn't being passed.
