Hello All,<br />
<br />
I am currently tying to create a VPN connection out of our company and onto another 2000 machine via the internet.<br />
The instructions ask that we create an lmhost file with an IP address on ports_rdp3 and add import this into network properties. Then simply create a VPN reboot.<br />
If we try this at home it connects ok but not from the office. Obviously the main difference is a PIX firewall in the middle but not sure where I should look to confirm this.<br />
<br />
My other issue I would like cleared up is if the connection is using the network in the office to jump out (not using a modem) do I need to set the VPN up differently?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />
<br />

Possible VPN PIX firewall issue?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
