BT Voyager 220v Settings for VPN

I have small SBS2003 network at the office connected to the Internet vi
a Voyager 220v.

I need to connect via VPN from home [which I could do fine with th
previous USB modem from BT], but I'm having trouble working out th
required router settings to permit VPN.

Can anyone help

Are you using the router as the VPN endpoint, or one of the machines on
the LAN? If so you will have to route the incoming VPN traffic to the
correct LAN machine via port forwarding. Don't forget also that a
software firewall will have to be configured to allow the correct port.

Find out what port your VPN connection wants to use and open it up.

As the VPN endpoint, if I understand the question correctly. I believ
I should forward port 1723 on the router, which I have. I also believ
I should enable GRE, 'which may be referred to as PPTP pass-through'
but I can't find any such option on the router.

I have tried specifying the server itself as a DMZ, but this made n
difference.

I appreciate I'm probably making some quite fundamental error, bit U'v
no idea what this might be.

Regards,
Nige

Are you on the latest firmware for the router. I am sure there used to be an
issue with that router on older firmware.
