I can ping my host name and it does not fail. The error
code is 800. I am not sure what to do. Thanks for helping
me out. Let me tell what I have done so far. I have made
my LAN ip address static. On my D-Link DI-624 Router, I
have setup forwarding. I also am using No-Ip.com software
so it keeps track of my WAN IP addres. it is
[url]http://shahman.no-ip.info[/url]. I do not know what else to do
since the error code 800 keeps coming up. On host side, i
have setup to answer my VPN protocol. Anyhow, I hope you
can help me out here
