Just an assumption. Being able to forward a port and being able to handle GRE are totally different things. I have seen zyxel routers where you have to forward a port through the NAT layer. And also open a port in the firewall on the router. Anything like that under the security or advanced...

Routers usually just supports GRE and they forward it normally. If it doesn't work you need a new router. The programs don't have connection settings?

Ahhh, that explains. You need to forward the ports to your internal address. You can find this by typing ipconfig into a cmd window (google it ;)). And my first suggestion still stands. Test the vpn inside your internal network. While inside your lan connect using the internal ip.

There is no mention what so ever about hosting a vpn server on a windows machine on that link... They have a zyxel router which is functioning as a vpn server. And it is sitting behind another zyxel router which needs port forwards. That's why i asked what server vpn software you're using. Can...

Gre protocol 47 usually isn't something you can forward. The router either handles it. Or it doesn't. Maybe you have a vpn forwarding option. Find that. How did you setup the vpn server on the host computer? What steps, options etc. Didn't even know windows had a vpn server.

I'm not sure if the pci slot will provide enough throughput to reach 1gbit. I don't know what kind of budget your on but getting a decent raid controller can be very expensive. They start at like 100 if you want to get a decent card. In simple raid 1 performance should be ok then. But you only...

What software are you using? What OS and what vpn server? Which port did you forward? What did you configure on the server? I'd try connecting to the vpn server from your internal network first. That rules out any problems that might be caused by external networks (your isp) and problems with...

Why in this part of the forum? To answer your question. We need much more info. What hardware are we talking about?

Pfff, almost out of options -.- Can you still reach it via the network management interface when it goes down?

What model ups? And what model server?

Haven't had and problems with apc ups. Why do you still use the serial port? Or are you just using it for configuration? I usually just do the monitoring of the network. I usually start by exchanging all low-cost stuff i still have lying around. In your case only the cabling. Updating the...

He can't even ping right now. That has nothing to do with setting up a ad-hoc network (which is wireless). And changing settings in the network configuration is also out of the question. Only the firewall can block this kind of stuff. That's why i asked the ipconfig of both machines. If those...

How will this help in trying to ping from one computer to the other? The hub might just be crap yes. But that has nothing to do with packet collision. The become a problem in large networks with large collision domains. But with only 2 workstations this won't be a problem.

They're in exactly the same subnet and connected to a hub. Then it can only be some firewall blocking it.

Using a ping command between 2 computers connected by a hub should be easy enough. You sure it's a hub though? That's ancient. I do need some extra information: - Can i get a ipconfig /all from both computers? - What's the OS on both computers? - What do you mean by the can access data mutually?

Wouldn't think to much of it. Windows does a crappy job of putting these drawings together. Can you get any more information out of it (right mouse click or something?). Your dsl modem probably doubles as a router. Could you post a ipconfig /all?

I do suggest looking into securing your setup. It's always possible your website gets hacked/hijacked. Doesn't matter where you host it.

Not sure about that actually. Haven't used (s)ftp in some time.

Ftp is a prehistoric protocol. It uses 2 different port for commands and data and relies on (dynamic) passive ports also. The file transfer isn't encrypted and the password and username are sent using cleartext. That being said i wouldn't use ftp. sftp (secure ftp) does help with the security...

You could look into xamp or wamp to get the server setup going. And something like wordpress as a cms to get a simple start at a website.
