Wi-max is good for me as Airtel Broadband is not available at my locality.

If your VPN supports SSTP then it will work. Other types like PPTP will most likely fail.

depends on the way your organisation configures VPN, if a direct port connection is needed, VPN wont work.

I agree with you that it does not have port forwarding capabilties but, for which i am strugglisng at the moment.

However VPN works fine for me……..

But i am not that happy with it being a LINUX user it has lot of hassles most of the time

@Ravi – I got a call again today from Tata indicom broadband who was sort of scolding me for complaining about the issue saying I should not complain about this as i was aware of this issue with their wimax service. What I told him was that its feedback. If more and more people write to them regarding this issue, I am sure they will have to take care of this. So write to their customer service, and their nodal officers every week till they solve the issue. All your friends who may have wimax, ask them to write too.

I am also facing similar issues. I can not connect to my office VPN using tata indicom. These guys asked me to purchase static IP. They do not have proper justification to my queries. I was able to conne twith same plan and same configuration for first 3 months and all of a sudden it has stopped working. Looks like they are just cheating us or there is some problem with their technology itself.

Also static IP is also very constly.

Update : The employee of Tata indicom VSNL Nishith Agarwal , never replied to any of my emails. He was probably just playing around without any authority on the matter.
