Windows VPN Connections

Hello,

I have a quick question about Parallels Desktop 6. I have a client with a Mac that would like to run a copy of Windows on his Mac for VPN use and a couple of Windows programs.

At the company we have a Windows Server 2008 system that supports VPN through the built in Windows VPN networking. However, we need to ensure that the GRE protocol (specifically port 47) works correcly in Parallels, as we tried using VPN with a Sun/Oracle VirtualBox via Windows 7 and it does not pass the GRE protocol correctly.

We can use either Windows XP or Windows 7, but I would like to know about the GRE protocol before he goes ahead and orders a copy of Parallels Desktop.

Thanks,

Chris

 

Hi, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Should I call support?

 

Hi,

I use Parallels since Version 2.x on my mac for administration of the Windows Infrastructure of my customers. I need VPN via PPTP too and havn't any problems with the dial connection wich use GRE for authentication of your User-Account. Sorry for my english ;-)
