Hi Guys,

Thanks for taking the time to read this forum post. I've been trying to setup VPN port forwarding for growl notifications. I've had a developer test the settings setup on my Linode VPN on a mac and this has worked successfully. When it comes to testing on a windows PC this fails to work.

PS: Firewall has been turned off on my windows PC, no other firewall/AV software is running or installed.

Any suggestions will be great.

Try changing the Windows wallpaper - I find astro pic's often work best with VPN systems.

So a waste of a comment. Thanks anyways idiot!

I've tried the following:

- Setting up Iptables using the following (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions ... vpn-client)
- Port forwarding on home router
- Disabling Firewall

Setup PPTP using the following link (http://www.rockia.com/2012/03/install-p ... n-1-minute)

VPN forwarding works fine, just PC wont accept connection

Zero details. Asking a NETWORKING question without providing any networking information, or config information, or exact error messages, etc is a COMPLETE WASTE of everyone's time.

Before you start slinging around the "idiot" tag, I'd look at your own noobish attempt at getting other people to solve YOUR problem.

FYI: PPTP is a broken protocol, has been for decades, only noobs and morons still use it.

Can you tell me why PPTP is a broken protocol?

Config files, logs, error messages, diagrams of configuration, tcpdump output, routing tables, anything?
