>>I did find the same page you found. But I thought that if I disable firewall, this should unblock any port, if it is blocked, right? Otherwise, I don't know how to unblock a port. Thank you.

>Are you using a router? Perhaps the port isn't forwarded?
If you are familiar with how to set up port forwarding in the router, I have a question. On the Port forwarding page of dlink I see the following table:
Name Ports to Open TCP UDP
IP Address
I understand that VPN works via UDP. So I need to specify UDP 4500/500 and/or ESP. My question is, do I need to enter IP Address and the UDP port #? Or UDP port # by itself is fine? Also, once I save the chagnes, I can't seem to find them. Where would you look for the list of ports I already set to be forwarded?
Thank you.
