[VPN] VPN connection

It seems from the change log thet the GRE protocol is now supported, thus VPN should work now with the latest firmware. When I have the time I will try it out.

I am experiencing problems that are related to the problems mentioned above, I think. My internet connection worked fine with the firmware 1.6.5.3. These where my settings:

WAN Connection Type: PPTP
WAN IP Setting
IP Address: 10.0.0.150
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.138 (used as host for VPN, IP from my Speed Touch ADSL modem)
PPPoE or PPTP Account:
User Name and Password

DNS settings not automatic (I added two adresses)

Like I said it worked fine until I installed the new firmware (1.7.5.6). I just couldn't connect. I tried it with and without the firewall, with and without the DNS settings automatic, with another subnet mask, but it didn't work. I hope you guys can help me out here, I really would like to use the new version, because of the security and extra options.

Edit: I forgot to read page 2 of this subject, silly me. But my question remains: what do I have to do to make it work. What settings did you guys use to make it work?

Hi. Is there any chance to make connection to VPN with PPtP protocol via WL500g. It isnt regulary connection over adsl modem but i have some router which i used to connect to internet provider with VPN. If i set the PPtP connection in WL500g configuration i cannot ping ip that i used for VPN connection(10.10.10.10).
