  sounds like this isn't a case of them blocking the VPN ports so much as it
is a case of a poor quality ISP that doesn't want to be bothered with
concepts that are over their heads :)  if you're getting the connection
established at all, they're not blocking VPN traffic, at least not any that
you need...

    Hi,

    has any one experiences with pptp and ADSL?

    We use linux pptp and your client uses win2k with a ADSL connection to
his ISP.

    It seams to work but sometimes i get an error:

    GRE: Discarding out of order packet

    As we use the tunnel to connect to a AS/400 i get trubles if connection
between AS/400 and
    client dies for a (short) time (1 to 2 sec). With M$ products like
Outlook connection to a Exchange
    Server the tunnel works fine.

    Can the reason for this be that ADSL uses tunneling.
    The ADSL provider just say we do not support VPN.
