User cant use a PPTP VPN from behind PIX 506

[jcleary]

My client uses a SW that sends medical claims over the internet using PPTP. THey are using a 506 and cant do it. the provider said their customers usually use linksys and all they do is check the allow pptp passthrough box and everything is fine.

Why wont this work on the PIX? I have addached the config.

Thanks in advance

PPTP is referred to as vpdn (note the d for dialup). You are missing the vpnd config statements on your pix. You have vpn configured, and to be honest, if your customer's partner can use IPSec instead of pptp, you can add some more vpn definitions (note, no d).

Let me know if you still need help.

I misspelled, you need to use vpdn, not vpnd, on the pix.

Actually what im trying to do is connect from a server to some other VPN server on the internet.

Im not trying to VPN to the PIX

Thanks,
