True, and yet some DSL providers assign a /30 subnet to a user's connection. Large-scale providers, on the other hand, are more conservative in their IP handouts and assign a single address to the DSL router and have the user NAT through that. It's also possible the techies at her company tested their VPN solution on only dialup scenarios. Since most dialup sessions are assigned a routable IP locally, their VPN solution would work. I don't recall if the original post contained that information or not. Peter On Wed, 13 Mar 2002, R. DuFresne wrote:

It is also possible that your provider is blocking certain protocols required for VPN connections as Jeffrey points out.I tend to get the impression her issues might be more related to NAT problems then issues with ehr provider as she states the VPN SW came from the provider. Yet, I find this kind of strange as most often one gets the SW that the employer uses and knows from them for such connectivity. I'm surprised her techies at the company have not worked this our for her there. Sure makes it better for them to support a product they know then to try and support all the products out here for such use.
