enable PPTP (Protocol 47 GRE) on MS Wireless Broadband Router

I recently bought this router because of the name brand and also
noting on the box it has VPN pass through... I have spent endless
nights trying to figure out where I can enable PPTP or Protocol 47 GRE
so my employees can access our WIN2k SERVER running PPTP....... Please
any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried putting the 2k box in
DMZ but that didn't help.... Again ANY help would be greatly
appreciated..

Respectfully Yours,

Carlo.

I would hate to say this does not have VPN pass through or else it
would be false advertisement please prove me wrong!

It is supposed to have IPSec passthrough. Please give Product Support a call
on this issue.

I noticed you answered many others with the same comment. I take it
there is no "QUICK FIX" , this is not good business pratice for
Micro$oft, I will not lower myself to call there tech support line and
pay more money for something I have already paid for! Thanks anywas
for your help but I am pretty sure I would call them before I posted
here........... Has anyone out there gotten this to work?? Any help is
greatly appreciated...

Thanks ALL!

Like all MVP's, I am a volunteer. I can't make this work for you and I do
not have a fix. I don't have any options to offer you EXCEPT to give Product
Support a call. They should not charge you if there is a problem with the
device. Up to you where you go from here.
