We have been unsuccessful getting the Linksys cable/dsl router to work with VPN. Any help in the configuration would be helpful.
 
Do you mean that you are trying to create a VPN between a Linksys router and the NetScreen at your office? Or are you merely trying to pass a VPN through the Linksys to your office firewall? Which model Linksys is it?

There is a possibly better device from NetGear. Their packet firewall is apparently a more capable IPsec box and has better features than the Linksys. Also, if you get it over at Datacomm Warehouse it'll only cost you about $140.
 
Getting back to the original question.

Has anyone been able to establish a vpn with a netscreen and a Linksys VPN router?

Yes, between a Netscreen and a Linksys BEFVP41 running 1.40.3.

I haven't explicitly tried a netscreen to linksys but I have done a linksys to checkpoint tunnel. I used the linksys VPN router, not the linksys firewall router. Given the close similarities btw netscreen and checkpoint I would think that the tunnel would be established rather easily.

What version if linksys do you have ?
 
Detail on configuring VPN between Netscreen and Linksys BEFVP41 would be appreciated.
