I am trying to connect to an XP pro machine in my office
from my XP pro laptop at home. Both have broadband
connections. I have set up the office machine to accept
incoming connections. I can configure VPN from the laptop
with the IP address of the office machine. I think the
connection finds the IP address but doesn't complete
because of the firewall (but I maybe wrong). I have read
about changing the port to get around the firewall, but I
don't know how to do it. Can someone help please?

If it appears to be connecting, but hangs when verifying your username
and password, you need to ensure that GRE/PPTP Passthrough is

If you aren't connecting at all, check with your router/firewall
manual to see how to forward TCP Port 1723 to the internal/private
address of your machine.
