Linksys is a BESFX41 with VPN Endpoint... I have to check the firmware version ( that was a suggestion from another thread ) The Watchgaurd has the latest firmware revision.. it is a SOHO6... PPTP works it is just very very very slow...??? DesignCaddy.. I used the slashes to separate the items in the diagram ... But due to the auto-correct or auto-elimination in this message board the diagram came out pretty ugly... here is link to the message board at microsoft... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/newsgroups/dgbrowser/en-us/default.mspx?query=PPTP&dg=microsoft.public.windows.server.networking&cat=&lang=en&cr=US&pt=&catlist=&dglist=&ptlist= ( listed under PPTP - Loss of bandwidth )
