I want to enable VPN access for our mobile users, so they can access local shares and resources while on the road.
For that, I’ve followed the steps in the Small Business Server admin guide, but I still have some problems. The configuration is as follows:
Server is Windows Small Business Server 2003. This is the Domain Controller, DHCP server, DNS server and Certificate Authority.
Server names is Serverhp, domain is EKAYMM
Problems:
1. The connection doesn’t take place. I get a timeout.
2. Don’t know how to configure VPN in OSX (10.6). I’ve already installed the User certificate, but don’t know how to request a computer certificate.
I have completed these steps:
Installed and configured IAS. Disabled MS-CHAP and enabled Strongest Encryption (128 bit)
Installed and configured Certificate Services. Enterprise root CA (EK roboter Certificate Authority)
Created a Local Computer and Current User Certificate Console (using the Certificates Snap-Ins)
Requested a Certificate for the Windows Small Business Server computer. Certificate Type: Domain Controller
Configured the Remote Access Policy to use EAP authentication.
Open ports TCP 1723 (PPTP), UDP 500 (IPSec) and UDP 1701 (L2TP), forwarding them to the server’s IP.
On the client side, I used the Certificate Console to request User and Computer certificates, which both install correctly.
The VPN connection is configured as follows:

Here are some other screenshots from the server configuration, which might be useful:

UPDATE: I can connect using PPTP from both Windows and OS X. L2TP still gives me problems.
UPDATE 2: L2TP works from inside the LAN, so I think it's a firewall issue. Are there any ports besides those I already forwarded that need to be enabled?
