From: James Hendry on 15 Dec 2008 17:26 Hi, I was wondering if anyone would can help, I have a Linksys WAG354G v2... setup this has been running fine, for over a year now, however I recently had to do some work from home and vpn'd into my company's network. The problem is that I can reach the VPN server, but cannot do anything else such as network file system or run RDP sessions. I am sure the problem lies with my linksys gateway as I can take the same laptop to a hotel connection and connect to all of the company resources and RDP applications. My ISP tells me that there are no blocked ports, hence the focus on the WAG354G. I have enabled in the gateway, ipsec, etc... can anyone shed any light on what I may have missed ?? all of these are enabled... IPSec Passthrough: PPPoE Passthrough: PPTP Passthrough: L2TP Passthrough: Firmware 1.01.58 Many Thanks, Jim

Will it work if you remove the Linksys WAG354G v2?

Hi John, The gateway is the only method I have of connecting to the net so unable to remove it, i.e. modem built in. The utility provided to me is a Cisco Systems VPN client software Ver 4.8.01.0300 The company Host IP address is entered and the transport is IPSec/UDP transparent tunneling, IPSec over UDP(NAT/PAT) I just launch the client select the connection and connect... if from anywhere else other than my home it connects ok....

Rats. One of the reasons for preferring separate units over integrated units. >The utility provided to me is a Cisco Systems VPN client software Ver >4.8.01.0300 > >The company Host IP address is entered and the transport is IPSec/UDP >transparent tunneling, IPSec over UDP(NAT/PAT) That should work through the Linksys. >I just launch the client select the connection and connect... if from >anywhere else other than my home it connects ok.... What does that you can "reach the VPN server" mean? Ping it? Connect but not see the remote network? Can the company see your connection from home? -- Best regards, FAQ for Wireless Internet: <http://wireless.navas.us> John Navas FAQ for Wi-Fi: <http://wireless.navas.us/wiki/Wi-Fi> Wi-Fi How To: <http://wireless.navas.us/wiki/Wi-Fi_HowTo> Fixes to Wi-Fi Problems: <http://wireless.navas.us/wiki/Wi-Fi_Fixes>

Ping it? Connect > but not see the remote network? Can the company see your connection > from home? Hi, yes, it means that the Cisco Client tells me that a connection has been made. I can ping the host, avg 70ms, nothing reachable on the remote network after connecting. |
