Linksys's NAT is far from cheasy. I found firewall1's nat
CHEASY.
The
linksys works with PPTP and Win2000's IPsec VERY Well. I am
using
firmare 1.33 with logging enabled and i can get PPTP and
IPsec
just
fine. You do have to MANUALLY turn on those features. You
can
also
setup a DMZ machine and try using those protocols as well if
the
software you are running is Cheasy.
ON a
side note, just to let people know. The LinkSys DSL only
Costs
149
which includes 4 100mbit full duplex switched ports as well
as
NAT,
Port Forwarding and firewall features. With the new flash's
you
can
log traffic and all sorts of stuff.
Some
things to consider, try a DMZ machine internally and get
that
working before you try doing it from a firewalled box. Try using
static
ip
addresses instead of DHCP addresses as well. try disabling
hide
external interface, sometimes that may freak out a protocol in not
encapsulating
it
with your correct external interface if it is trying to use that as a
source
address.
There
are all sorts of things to checkout, but getting PPTP and IPsec
through
a
linksys was many times easier then through FW1 :)
And
you can't beat the price.

This
is not new, there have been a number of people with issues with linksys
routers.
ou
may wish to try sp2's udp encapsulation feature.
I
think linksys may be doing some sort of cheesy NAT or
something.

I
have purchased a Linksys EtherFast 1-Port Cable/DSL Router with the 1.35
firmware and am unable to get my VPN connection to work. I’m running the RC2 of SecuRemote on
a Windows 2000 Professional workstation. My DSL provider is Ameritech.net and
uses PPPoE. I was able to get
the SecuRemote to work prior to getting this router on my Windows 98
computer in conjunction with the EnterNet 300 PPPoE software (I couldn’t
duplicate this setup if my life depended on it). I bought the router because it does
the PPPoE for me (which means no more EnterNet 300) and because their
pre-sales support said that it works with any IPSec VPN including
CheckPoint. Has anyone been
able to get their VPN to work using one of these routers? If so, what did you have to do to
get it to work?
