Has anyone managed to get the NAT-T or UDP encapsulation to work for either VPN endpoint router? I have the latest and greatest firmware on the Linksys and the Sentinel 4.1. I can connect all day outside of the NAT realm, but once I try behind the NAT router, I get INVALID COOKIES in the VPN log of the Linksys during the IKE negotiation.
 
Get a NAT-router which supports IPSec passthru, like BEFSR41, or enable IPSec passthru in your existing NAT-router.

Should work.
 
It is a BEFXS41 with 2 VPN Tunnel endpoints. My goal isn't to setup the VPN through the router, but TO the router. It just does not work when I initiate the session behind a router gateway with NAT. I know that IPSec has issues with NAT, but supposedely Sentinnel gets around that with either NAT traversal or UDP encapsulation to a specific port. Neither seem to work. Is it just a case that I can only connect in a public IP address space that is not being NATted?
Thanks for any help.
