Hi All, I am trying to setup safefire links for OS/2 as a PPTP (VPN) client. The connection is coming up and authorisation is successful to my remote server (hotspotvpn dot com). When I check PPP0 (the port this software uses) it has an IP address assigned and all looks good. Lan0 is also stil up and has the same configuration and IP address as it had prior to me starting safefire links. The problem is that when I try to use a browser to go anywhere - either with a websites name or its IP address, I cannot connect. It's as if the traffic from the web browser is not getting directed to the VPN tunnel or if it is its not traversing the link. What decides which port the browser uses? Is there a command that would tell me? -- Cheers/2 Ed eComStationAustralia podcast RSS feed http://eComStationAustralia.podbean dot com/feed or iTunes Warpstock Europe at Stralsund, Germany 12-15 November 2009 http://www.warpstock.eu -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:13:12 +1100 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: Networking Question.
