RV042 does not permit VPN pass-thru...

Firmware ver: 1.3.12.19

I have the RV042 protecting my home network.  I do not have any VPN configured on the device yet.


With my laptop, I cannot establish a VPN connection to a remote site, using my Cisco VPN client v5.0.06.0100 (most recent)

Connected behind the RV042, no vpn connection can be made.

- error message -

Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client.

Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding.

Connection terminated on: Nov 12, 2009 16:00:00     Durration: 0 day(s), 00:00.00

If I connect to the internet anywhere else, I connect just fine.

Now, I know why this happens.  The RV042 is listening on UDP port 500 on the external interface for IPSec ISAKMP, however, the external interface is also used for NAT translation, and when the VPN gateway I'm trying to connect to tries to respond to MY UDP/500 port... but the ROUTER answers that query rather than passing it back to me.

I've dealt with this on the PIX firewalls (I'm an old Cisco networking guy) and those commands are not available on the RV042.

I"ve checked the settings, IPSec VPN Pass-through is ENABLED, as are all of the other pass-through settings.

How can I stop this stupid router from answering/listening on port 500?
