Hey guys,

I can connect fine on my LAN to my PPTP server (pfsense box), but when I'm on my schools network, trying to connect from the internet, I can't get through. I have a feelings it my schools network blocking the outbound PPTP connection, but i'm not sure. A port scan shows port 1723 is open on my home connection.... Here's my console log.

3/31/09 1:49:13 PM pppd[9307] pppd 2.4.2 (Apple version 314) started by root, uid 501

3/31/09 1:49:33 PM pppd[9307] PPTP disconnected


It looks like a connection is made, then dropped? I've tried changing encryption settings to max on both ends, then none, still the same thing! Frustrating!
