putting pc in the DMZ on a router questions
Hey guys....
for the life of me I cannot get my companies VPN to work though my router (dlink di524). It'll almost connect but something is blocking it. I've messed around with various ideas from dlink and used our network dudes info on what needs to be open, but no luck. So it's a pain, and sadly, I can't get much help from our network guy that runs it.
So anyways, I was thinkin I could put my PC's IP in the DMZ on the router and that should give me access to everything and everything to me (including the VPN). Trouble is, I still can't access the VPN when this is done. Why is that? Am i missing something here???

alright Nat routers Most of them that i know dont support True VPNing. Nor does yours router. dlink di524 is just a home base router that allowed VPN Passthrough. Meaning to talk to some other VPN if your trying to figure it out Good luck DMZ is just to open all the ports pretty much but you need a VPN server and correctly configured. there alot of online tutorials...
I dont know if that answer your questtion but later. PM if you need something.

dmz does/will not guarantee it will work. The vpn passthrough that twisted mentioned can be the issue. Some routers (very very loose term btw cause its not really a router) dont do vpn well or at all. However i think most do now a day.
I would make sure you can connect with no router first as chrisb mentioned.
At my work we give employees a router that has a tiny vpn server built in. Not passthrough. Maybe the latest firmware for your unit will help? Ill admit i never went to the site to see its specs or revisions.
