I know HOW to port forward because I have successfully forwarded other ports such as SSH to the server. My firewall security on my router is on the lowest setting. Check your Mac OS X Server firewall, too. How do I set up L2TP VPN? A VPN, for those who don’t know, stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN is a group of computers networked together over a public network, usually the internet.
I apologize if this is a question that has been asked a million times, but I am not a Mac guy. I have a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 and I have a PPTP VPN connection setup to the workplace. I am able to VPN successfully; however, I cannot resolve hosts by name, only by IP. This is a problem because my users only know their computer names and not their IP addresses. How can I make the Macs resolve hostnames? We use RDP to connect to local machines. My Windows machines have no problem with this.
I know that this issue can be resolved by routing all traffic through the VPN, but this is unacceptable in this situation.
