Cisco's VPN with a Linksys Router BEFSR41

[ken64]

I am trying to connect to my company's VPN network from home. At home, I am connected to the internet using a Linksys router and a DSL modem.

Disabling NAT transparency mode on my Cisco VPN 5000 4.2.11 client, I am able to connect to the VPN server but cannot access any devices on the corporate network.

If I enable NAT transparency mode, I never make a connection to the VPN server.

I am able to use VPN without any problems if I connect my DSL modem directly to my PC.

I have upgraded to the latest router firmware that is available from Linksys.

Here is my configuration:

Router: Linksys BEFSR41
Firmware Version: 1.40.2, Oct 23 2001
Settings:
DHCP - Enabled;
Enabled Multicast Pass Through, IPSec, PPTP;
Disabled Block WAN Request, SPI, Remote Management, Remote Upgrade and MTU.

VPN Client: Cisco VPN5000 v4.2.11
OS: Windows 2000

I've set up a static IP address for my PC and set it up as the DMZ host in my router's configuration.

I appreciate any help that I can get on this subject!

Try Hard coding your WINS address in your TCP/IP settings...

if you don't know what it is... when you are at work, open a DOS window and type IPCONFIG and you should see it there in the text.. [ IPCONFIG | MORE <- to pause the screen]or ask your system administrator
