I just bought a new Barricade 7004VWBR wireless router. I have it daisy chained off the back of a wired Barricade router which is connected to my cable modem. I would like to just use it as a wireless access point but had trouble with disabling DHCP, reIPing the device, etc... but that's another story....

My problem is this. I connect wirelessly and can browse the itnernet. Once I connect to my work's VPN (cisco) I cannot do anything at work. Seems I don't get issued an IP address from my work DHCP server. Now when I connect to the wireless router via one of the 4 switch ports, everything works perfectly. I can get on the VPN and get a remote IP address and do my work. What am I missing here? Anyone else experience this type of activity? Thank you!!

Hi steve this is ganesh here , you know what im also experiencing same tpye of problem , when i connect through the cable from of the four router port then everything is working fine , but when i disable that and connect through the wireless card then it doesnt work , the only difference i see in the ipconfig /all command is the machine ip is changed from 192.168.1.102 which was 192.168.1.101 so this is not the reason for the problem oi think the only reason i think is , we have to make sure if the wireless card what we are using is in compliance with the wireless access point in the office network , do you understand what i mean like iam using the linksys card in home and cisco is the wireless access point in office , when u connect thru wireless access card thr might go some info to the network that its connected thru wireless and not network card , so we have to ask the network admuinistrator abt this , think this should solve our problem.
 
I recently found the problem to be with my Cisco VPN client. I upgraded to latest version 3.6.4a and everything is now working. If you need the driver, please let me know. Steve
