VPN through BT home hub 5

Hello,

Finally I have been able to get Fiber in the place I work with a static IP address unfortunately I was away when the engineer fitted it and BT's phone tech support are a bit wishy woshy.

The set up I am currently using comprises of a BT home hub 5 that is connected to an Airport Time Capsule that is in bridge mode and then we have the computers connected to that through a switch or wifi. I am having trouble trying to set up the VPN again that was running the Airport has been reset since I first had it running but I never heard of any problems relating to connecting to the VPN excepted when it deicides to stop working because it had been on too long.

I have been trying to put ports onto the airport but the save button is greyed out even when I have everything filled out I also have a drop down box that is greyed out which is called firewall entry type.

I tried going through the step by step process of opening ports on the BT hub with the tech support but everywhere I check the ports are still closed and the VPN doesn't connect. I have fowarded 500, 1701 and 4500 for L2TP both on UDP and TCP ports but I am still having problems anyone know why this is?

On the BT hub it asks for a device to put the ports to I choose the Mac Mini I have that is running the server but still not avail even if I tell it to go to the airport as well.

Thanks in advance,

Bruce
