Another VP41 guy
----------
I am also in the process
of setting up a VPN using
the VP41
routers.
Not sure
I follow your tests (I'm
a newbie to VPN's) but I
was able to establish a
connection between my two
offices. However, I
cannot see any computers
from the other office.
The other problem I seem
to be having is that
since one location uses a
dynamic IP, when that
changes we lose the
connection.
Not
sure if our problems are
related but perhaps we
can help each other
out.

forget about it
----------
Hi, I also have the
Linksys VPN Router and I
can not get it to work
either. I have called
them 4 or 5 times and
every person I have spoke
to could not tell me how
to make it work. I have
tried connecting to it
using WinXP VPN client
with not luck. Linksys
said if you have a VPN
router on each end that
it will work with no
prob. | NetDave

BEFVP41 to BEFVP41
connection.
----------
Todd: Have you set up
your security policies on
both ends of the tunnel?
I've seen a load of
messages of ppl having
the same problem as you
(being able to set up a
tunnel between to routers
but not being able to see
the systems on ether
end). I've also read that
you need to change your
routing table on your
computer to basicaly
teach it how to send
packets to the other
portion of the (virtual)
network. This is done
using the DOS route
command. There is a small
snipit of info on how to
do this at:
http://www.homenethelp.co
m/vpn/router-routing.asp.
Check this out and let me
know if it helps. | NetDave

Win2K/XP VPN client
software.
----------
Talisman: I read on the
microsoft.com that
Windows does NOT support
IPSec VPN connections
alone (like the BEFVP41).
It does however support
L2TP over IPSec which
with my limited
understanding of it, uses
IPSec for the inital
connection and then
switches to L2TP. You
might shop around for a
third party VPN client
software (if ya find one
that works with the
BEFVP41, PLEASE let me
know). I've tried SSH
Sentinel
(http://www.ssh.com/produ
cts/sentinel/pilot/), but
it didn't work for me.
Hope this helps. | ToddB

Worth a try
----------
Dave: Thanks for the
suggestion. We'll give
it a go and report back
on the
results.
