I think the big problem was me getting tunnel vision (it happens once in awhile) I was using the microsoft VPN for 6 months and it was working flawlessly then all of a sudden it was crapping out. I assumed (Bad Thing) that since it worked so well for so long it couldn't be a configuration issue so I tried all of the other things I thought it could be. I started building a new server but was reproducing the same bad configuration on it.
I'd like to get a better VPN solution than MS's but this company is tough to get them to throw money into I.T.
By the way, Great Job with this site. Being new to the whole Striper/Surf fishing thing I've gotten a ton of help and useful info from it. Besides where else can you learn to rig an eel AND troubleshoot a VPN on the same website.
Thanx again, TDF
