WRT54G v5.1 vpn issue

Guys,

I have WRT54G v5.1 router connected to cable modem at home. I use my
laptop to wirelessly connect all works fine. However when i try to
vpn into work i get error 619. When i connect the laptop directly to
the cable box i can vpn to problem. I believe there is issue with
this router and vpn i have tried one suggestion of upgrading firmware
still no joy.

Can anyone help.

Many thanks

Ismail

Been there, many times. You probably have double NAT running, where
you translate IP addresses in BOTH your unspecified model cable "box"
and your WRT54G. If the cable "box" is a router, there's your
problem.

Sorry about half an answer. I got interrupted.

You will need to disclose the cable "box" maker and model number to
supply a usable fix. It would also be interesting to know the version
number of the firmware you're using. Numbers, not prose.

If the cable "box" is a cable modem, then it should work as expected.
There may be something wrong with the WRT54G setup or firmware. The
only way to be sure is to try it with a different model router.

If the cable "box" is a cable router, then you probably have double
NAT setup. Leave the cable "box" alone. Switch the WRT54G to act as
an access point instead of a wireless router. Instructions here:

Huh? Wrong firmware version. The latest firmware for the WRT54GS
v5.1 is 1.52.2. See:
<http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayo ut&cid=1166859761879&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FV isitorWrapper&lid=6187937314B280&displaypage=downl oad#versiondetail>

I don't know where you found that but please get your firmware updates
from the manufacturers web pile, not some download site.

Also, make sure that the VPN passthrough boxes on this page:
<http://www.linksysdata.com/ui/WRT54G/v5/1.00.6/VPN.htm>
are all checked.

Jeff,

My mistake the firmware version which i pulled down from link sys uk
is v1.50.9 i have just downloaded the latest version from url you
sent. I am currently running cisco web vpn session and using remote
into client server ( all works fine ) once I am done i will get the
latest firmware up hopefully that should sort the problem. With
regards to passthrough settings they are as per the link you sent.

Regards


Ismail

Jeff,

Applied the latest firmware still no joy. One thing though I have a
vpn connection to one of our hosting providers and I can connect to
that no problem. I can also vpn using cisco web client i am begining
to suspect something is a miss with work vpn. Is there anything
particulary that i could work network guys to look at that may need
tweaking?

Regards

Ismail

Nope. My mistake. I didn't know you were in the UK. The
current UK version is 1.50.9:
<http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?
c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=US
%2FLayout&cid=1166859878881&pagename=Linksys%2FCom mon
%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=7888137314B19&displaypage=do wnload#versiondetail>
There are differences in regulatory issues (frequency and power)
between UK and US versions.

Jeff,

Im taking the damn thing back and getting different model. Many
thanks for your patience and help.

Regards
