XP PPTP client to RV042
Did that. No joy. And this is recommended over the Quick VPN client. I must have something really hosed up for this not to work. Can the PPTP tunnel co-exist with the gateway-to-gateway tunnel? I read a professorial document on the web just now that mentions PPTP can only support one... -
XP PPTP client to RV042
I have two RV042 forming a site-to-site tunnel just fine. Now I want to get my laptop in on the action. After reading many bad reports about the Linksys QuickVPN client software I decided to use the built-in PPTP client in XP Pro 2002 SP3. I configured the RV042 A-end and left the IP Sec... -
Linksys RV042 dynamic IP VPN setup
Dynamic IP VPN setup from Linksys Here it is right from the horse's mouth (or similar anatomy): Linksys Knowledge Base article on how to set up the RV042 VPN tunnel over a dynamic IP link. I wish I had had that article at hand when I was setting these things up. Doh well. -
Linksys RV042 dynamic IP VPN setup
RV042 firewall policy violations I am running the default firewall rules/policies, yet I get these log entries that puzzle me: "Connection Refused - Policy violation...TCP 192.168.1.98:57148->93.93.xxx.yyy:80 on ppp0" This is but one of many such messages for different machines on my... -
Linksys RV042 dynamic IP VPN setup

Linksys RV042 dynamic IP VPN setup
Yep, that's what I dicked around with for 2 days. No joy. As soon as I changed it to "IP + FQDN" I couldn't stop the connection, like 2 opposite magnetic poles glued to each other. This recalls to mind my experience at a customer site a while back where I wasted a similar amount of time due... -
Linksys RV042 dynamic IP VPN setup
Solved! I found it, or rather stumbled across it since Linksys insists on misleading their customers with these screen prompts. If you follow Linksys down the garden path and select "Dynamic IP..." it WILL NOT WORK. You must counter-intuitively select "IP + Domain Name (FQDN)... -
Linksys RV042 dynamic IP VPN setup
I am trying to get a pair of Linksys RV042 routers to set up a VPN tunnel with one end ultimately being served a dynamic IP address with DynDns.com handling the name -> dynamic IP mapping. They work perfectly when both ends are static public IP addresses; thank goodness we have 2 diverse...
