Connect to the school server from home

[cdunn93]

Hi all,

 

I am currently trying to set up a VPN connection to the School Curriculum server from home. I have set up the server to allow incoming connections and have also set up my laptop to connect to the correct IP address and also the Admin log in details. It connects fine when I am in the school however as soon as I am at home I get an Error 800. Could this be something to do with the proxy server blocking me out as at home I don't have to have one to connect to the internet whereas at work I do?

 

Many thanks for your help!

Disable your proxy settings while at home. What VPN are you using as there are millions.

I disable my proxy settings anyway, as for the VPN setting that's a good question..... I believe it is a PPTP connection when in school just using the normal Microsoft Windows VPN options etc

More than likely a router issue. Is GRE allowed on the router?

that's another good question not too sure I'm afraid I shall have a look into that - if I find it is not allowed shall I allow it and would there be anything else that I need to configure?
