Hi all,
I just purchased two RV120W small business routers. Right now I'm in a sandbox, but my ultimate goal is to have one setup on our stateside office's Internet connection with the second at an overseas branch office's Internet connection. The idea is to have all traffc from the branch, INCLUDING INTERNET TRAFFIC, routed through the stateside router.
The routers were basically non-functional out of the box, but as soon as I got them updated to the new (1.0.2.6) firmware, I was able to make some progress. Both routers are now up and running, and sharing IPs. They are using different IP scheme (stateside router is 192.168.1.1, overseas router is 192.168.1.2).
First I tried to setup a Site-to-Site VPN, but despite putting in the exact same settings in all fields, I get "IPsec SA Not Established" on the status page. I click connect, it says that it succeeded, but it still says not established...
Ultimately I want the overseas router to handle the VPN connection transparently, but just for research I tried using the QuickVPN client to get an overseas host PC onto the stateside VPN, and it worked - I'm able to ping the internal IPs of the stateside network - but it doesn't route Internet traffic.. :-(
Next I configured the stateside router to accept PPTP clients, and then, on the overseas host, created an outgoing VPN connection from within Windows 7.. That SORTA worked. All Internet traffic is now being routed through the stateside router, although sometimes I have to make 2 or 3 connection attempts before it actually works, and even then it is somewhat unstable.
So I guess I'm really just asking what is the simplest way to do this? I've been messing with this for hours now and haven't been able to solve it. Is it even possible to setup these two routers so that all Internet traffic is routed from the overseas clients out of the stateside RV120W's Internet connection?
