I have been tried to setup a w2k client to establish VPN connection on Linksys WRV54G, but can't make it work.
What I tested: 1. ping VPN LAN ip, ping 192.168.1.1, gets Negotiating IP Security, Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss).
2. I had enabled audit but Security Event didn't list any errors.
3. I can ping WRV54G public ip.
4. Netdiag /test:ipsec /debug seems OK. For the details, go to
How did I setup: 1. On WRV54G, enabled all passthrough. local secure group are 192.168.1.0, 255.255.255.0, remote secure group 192.168.0.0, 255.255.255.0, remote secure gateway 12.248.a.b (a and b are some numbers), DES3, MD5 and PFS.
2. on client IP security policy, created two rules, IP Filter List, Filter Action, Authentication method, Tunnel Settings and Connection Type based on Linksys document. For the details, go to
Questions: how do I troubleshoot this problem? How can I know if it is vpn setting issue or w2l client IPsec issue?
Thank you
