I am trying to connect a home notebook to the VPN at a office. The VPN uses TCP/IP over IPSEC Cisco
I have followed these steps:
Step 1 Disable all Firewall Software (ZoneAlarm, Windows XP Firewall, etc.).
Step 2 Change IP Address to be outside of the routers DHCP Pool (i.e. 192.168.0.99). By default the DHCP pool is 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.199.
Step 3 Configure Cisco VPN Client - Connection Properties.
Step 4 Check Enable Transparent Tunneling.
Step 5 Allow IPSec over UDP ( NAT/PAT).
Configuring Router using the Web-based configuration:
Step 1 Open the Web Configuration Page by entering 192.168.0.1 into your web browser. Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default).
Step 2 Check the Status tab and make sure that firmware is at least v2.03g. If not, upgrade firmware before proceeding.
Step 3 Click on the Miscellaneous button on the Tools tab. Enable both PPTP and IPSec.
Step 4 Click Apply.
Step 5 Click on the Virtual Servers button on the Advanced tab.
Step 6 Enable IPSec from the list and configure as follows:
Private IP: IP Address of the PC running Cisco VPN Client
Protocol: UDP
Private Port: 500
Public Port: 500
Schedule: Always.
Step 7 Click Apply and then Continue.
Step 8 Enable PPTP from the list and configure as follows:
Private IP: IP Address of the PC running Cisco VPN Client
Protocol: TCP
Private Port: 1723
Public Port: 1723
Schedule: Always.
Step 9 Click Apply and then Continue.
---------------------------------------------------
I gave the client PC the static IP of 192.168.0.99
Tested for internet connection and it works
However the VPN is not getting passed through the router. VPN client says unable to connect. If I plug laptop straight into the cable modem I can connect to VPN so it has to be something I am doing wrong with the router
Did I miss something?
Thanks for the help
