Re: VPN-Linksys WRV54G

The router should have a place in the firewall settings to "Allow VPN
passthrough". You have to enable that.

Also, without ISA server, you might want to disable some of the ports that
you forwarded and use only what is absolutely necessary, thus reducing your
attack vector from the bad guys.

I think that might be my problem, I will try later when I can get to the
router.

I am trying a client to server VPN with SBS2k3 Standard, no ISA.

You should be forwarding ports to the external nic, not the internal.

I'm assuming you have it setup as:
DSL/Cable modem ---> WRV54G ----> SBS external Nic

What type of VPN are you trying to setup? Site to site? Client to Server?
SBS premium or Standard ? ISA Server or RRAS?

Has anyone been able to get VPN to work with a Linksys WRV54g if so can
you
share your settings?

During install the UPNP feature didn't work so I manually setup
forwarding
of the ports to the internal nic 192.168.16.2
(443,4125,1723,3389,444,25,47).
Also running the ceicw I put in the WAN Ip address of the router rather
than
getting optimum online to make a dns entry with:
servername.companyname.com,
but I don't think that should be the cause of the problem. I think I am
fighting against a router that doesn't work with sbs??

I am not hosting a website so I guess I don't have to do port 80?

Internal Nic Config:
ip 192.168.16.2
sn 255.255.255.0
dg BLANK
dns 192.168.16.2
wins 192.168.16.2

Ext Nic Config:
ip 192.168.1.2
sn 255.255.255.0
dg 192.168.1.1
dns 192.168.16.2
wins BLANK

Thanks for any help
JB
