I dont think i understand what you are trying to do. Could you explain the layout of your network? Since you installed in server only mode, I'm assuming you have ipcop, smoothwall, or some other routing/firewall device in place?

Hi,

i had a router with NAT/PAT that masq extip to my lanip 192.168.100.51 which is my sme server v5.

basically i had tested the routing by ssh to extip from remote location connected using dial-up to internet via ISP and i can log into the console.

I had open port forward of 22,80,25,110,500,1723 to my lanip.

but i dun seem able to connect using winXP pptp to pptpd of sme server......
