VPN through a firewall
Hi Experts,
I've setup a VPN connection between my home PC (Win XP Pro) and my laptop (win2k) with no problems at all.
Now, when I'm at work and I try to access my home PC with the laptop while trying to connect it says 'there was no answer' (the IP for my home pc is correct).
I know there is a firewall and a proxy server at the ISP.
Could this be the problem?
What can I do make it work?
Thanks in advanced,
Tech.

Found it!
Our ISP at work is bloking the port/s needed to establish a VPN connection.
Thanks anyway,
