Hi

Not sure about how you have described your setup.

Is it

Server:
PPTP VPN server
Running WinGate
R&RAS server as well
How connected to Internet?

Client:
Connects via DSL to Internet
No WinGate
dialup connects to R&RAS server on server
PPTP client connects to PPTP server

?

We didn't make any changes between 5.2 and 5.2.2 that should have affected this....

[DeanP]

Server:
PPTP VPN server .......Yes
Running WinGate .......Yes Win 2000 Server SP3
R&RAS server as well Yes, std modem listening
How connected to Internet? Dsl router (2wire) with pptp open on firewall

Client:
Connects via DSL or diect t3 (we are a teleco and ISP) to Internet
No WinGate ....Correct (win2000 or winXPPro)
dialup connects to R&RAS server on server Via a 2nd client
PPTP client connects to PPTP server ...Yes

It always answers when i have called on 2nd client with modem..

I hope this helps sorry for the poor disp. of the three computers
