I am trying to establish a VPN connection to a remote network. The computer
that will be receiving the incoming VPN call is a tower running windows XP
Pro. When I am within the network I can make the VPN connection, using the IP
address of the tower. But when I try a remote access, using the WAN Ip
address of the router I get no response. I have configured this router to
redirect incoming calls to the Tower's IP address and I have temporarily
disabled the Tower's firewall to rule that out. What I haven't done is get a
static Ip address, apparently comcast doesn't offer them to residential
customers. Can this be done with a dynamic address? If anyone has any
suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thank you,

Dan

The model router is: D-link DI-604
Virtual server settings: PPTP TCP 1723/1723
 
DDNS is your option. I have been using dyndns.org and it works OK.
