Did you ever get this working? I am having exactly the same problem and have followed the instructions to disable IPSEC passthrough on my router but it still isnt working. Can you let me know what you did to get it working?
Thanks
Peter
I am sorry to say that I have not been able to resolve this problem - perhaps it is down to the NAT traversal issue described by GFloyd or perhaps it is something else. If anyone finds a resolution to a similar problem then I would be very keen to hear about it.
Sorry, its not that easy. When I am connected internally I can access the internet fine from the laptop, and my girlfirend who uses a different VPN solution from her laptop to her company can VPN out successfully.
I did try running a network sniffer yesterday during an attempted connection...
Thank you all for your suggestions which I have tried:
1. I have upgraded the firmware: now on 1.44.2z (Dec13 2002).
2. I have confirmed that both the PPTP and IPSec passthrough are enabled on the Linksys
3. I have tried getting my XP desktop to forward traffic to the laptop as described...
Apologies for not being clearer - I can tell that it doesnt work as it will not connect, the connection times out as if it cannot see the VPN switch at the other end (and I get an error from the contivity client saying that it couldnt connect), however I can ping/tracert the IP of the other side...
I do not have access to the central switch configuration and there does not appear to be any way to turn on: "IPSEC over UDP/TCP - i.e. IPSEC thru NAT" as the client side options appear quite limited. I know that someone else at work has the connection routing successfully via a USB...
I have a small network at home with 2 laptops and a desktop. These are connected with a Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless router/4 port switch. The desktop is connected to the internet via a USB Fujitsu ADSL modem and the other machines access the Internet via the Linksys -> Desktop -> Fujitsu Modem...
