VPN over Wireless

I have a remote location that has 3 computers (2 wireless / 1 wired).

At this location they just install a new wireless router between the ISP
router and wireless clients. It is on a seperate subnet from the hardwired
clients. These users use Windows VPN to connect to my network here. For
some reason one of the wireless connections can surf fine but the VPN won't
connect. It times out. The wireless that will connect is on a laptop, the
one that won't is a desktop. All are XP-Pro.

I first thought the Wireless router was not routing properly but if one
wireless works they all should. There network tech says the firewall on the
wireless has been turned off.


If I run trace route it times out after 22 hops. The wireless that works
hits in 17 hops. The wired hit in 16 hops (does not hit wireless AP).

The two computers that work take exactly the same path, the one that times
out takes a different path. Are the routing tables some how tied the the
NIC's MAC? Is there a way to flush the DNS in the PC

Does Windows VPN have any timing tunables?

Any ideas?

On the VPN Profile on the clients go to the
Properties>Networking>TCP/IP>Advanced. There is a check
box that should be checked "Use remote default gateway"

Don't crosspost to irrelevant groups.
