At my office I have a PIX 515 that is configured for a PPTP VPN. I am able to create a VPN tunnel from home to my office using the Microsoft VPN client. I recently purchased a PIX 501 for my home. When I try to create a VPN from my office to my home, the tunnel gets created, however, it hangs at authentication. I am using local authentication on the PIX 501. I have the config on my 501 the same as I configured the 515 at my office (except for the local ip pool). The network (lan) ip scheme at my office and home are different (office 192.168.1.0, home 192.168.20.0). Here is the config of the 501:

Interesting thing, it does not show the username being sent or the mppe key strength in the syslog:

Jim,
If you have a 501 at home and a 515 at the office, why don't you just setup a site-to-site VPN connection? Here is a good document on the subject using IPSec:
Hope this helps.

Jay,
Thanks for the reply. I was reading up on site-to-site this morning. I think that is what I will do.

Just to answer your question...It's the FIXUP for the PPTP protocol on the PIX at the house...
enable it with the correct Port and your PPTP will Pass throught the 501 fine

Add the following on PIX 501:
nat (inside) 0 access-list vpnlist
Thanks

Also, make sure if you have 6.3 add the following on both PIX, This will enable PPTP pass through on PIX
sysopt connection permit-pptp
Thanks
