I have a laptop that I wish to use to remotely connect to my office VPN 3000
from home. I am using vpn 3.1 client SW.
I am trying unsuccessfully to connect to the VPN via my LAN at home. My
configuration is as follows:
3com Cable modem connected to Cablevision as my ISP,
the cable modem is connected to a D-Link 701 router/firewall/DHCP,
the router is then connected to a snap on a Kingston KNE 8TP/WG 8 port hub,
Also connected to this hub along with other computers, is a Linksys WAP11
wireless access point
finally, the laptop is connected to the LAN via a Linksys WPC11 wireless
PCMCIA wireless net card. which works with the Wireless access point.
I can connect to the rest of the LAN and the internet using this setup.I can
even gain a secure connection to the VPN. Unfortunately the VPN secured
connection does not allow me to see anything.
I have been fully successful connecting to the VPN when I am connected
directly to my cable modem, via a wired 3com PCMCIA ethernet card with no
LAN involved. I get the secured connection, and access the machines on the
VPN. no problem there.
I have then tried unsuccessfully to connect to the VPN via a port on the hub
(on the oposite side of the firewall). On this side of the firewall I don't
gain access to anything once the secured connection is established. Can't
even ping.
I went to the CISCO site looking for required opn ports that would permit the
firewall/router to pass the data to the Laptop. I opened ports 10000, 500,
1023, and 1723, to this machine but was still unable to access any machines
on the VPN. Again, I can't even Ping
Can anyone provide additional info on why I can not access the machines on the
VPN?
