Linksys BEFVP41 setup
problems
----------
I am trying to install a
LinkSys BEFVP41 VPN
Router on our office
network in order that I
can make a connection
between my home computer
and the office network.
I have not been able to
get any internet access
through the VPN Router so
far. Any suggestions
will be appreciated.
Here is my setup and
configuration.
The
label on the modem has a
tag on it that our ISP
placed there with this
information:
WAN:
216.170.217.238
LAN:
216.170.217.240/28
Here’s the equipment and
settings
DSL
Modem
Static IP:
216.170.217.241
Se
rver box
Win2000 Small
Business Server running
ISA
server
Multi-homed
NIC #1 – Static IP
216.170.217.242
Subnet
:
255.255.255.240
Gatewa
y:
216.170.217.241
(Shoul
d the gateway be changed
to the router
IP?)
NIC # 2 –
Serving the Internal
network
Static IP
192.168.16.2
Subnet:
255.255.255.0
Running
a DHCP server for the
internal network
All
PCs obtain their IP
addresses
here
Router:
Linksys
BEFVP41
Gateway/Router
switch set as a
Gateway
DHCP is
disabled
We have
additional IPs assigned
to up that we can use for
the router. I really
prefer to not change the
server configuration
(i.e.-use the VPN router
as a DHCP server and set
the Win2000 box to obtain
a Dynamic IP), but if
that is the best way to
go I will consider
it.
Since I have
the additional IPs
available, I would like
to set the router/gateway
up with a static IP.
Here is how I configured
it, but we can’t get it
to work.
The VPN
router is physically
between the modem and the
Win2000 server.
WAN:
Static IP
216.170.217.243
LAN:
Static IP
216.170.217.244
Subnet
:
255.255.255.240
Gatewa
y: 216.170.217.241
DNS
servers: 204.246.1.20
and
204.70.128.1
With
this configuration, I can
ping the LAN side of the
VPN router
(216.170.217.244), but I
get no response from the
WAN side
(216.170.217.243). Of
course, I also can’t get
to the modem
(216.170.217.241).
Obviously I
missed something. Do I
need to configure a
static route from one
side of the VPN router to
the other? Any
suggestions of how to set
this up wll be
appreciated. If you have
any questions, please
email me at:
blake@hankinsco.com
Sorry for the length of
this posting. Thanks in
advance for all
help!
