Hi all.

This router is working great for me in every way except for the problem that I can't make a very simple VPN connection to my campus down the road. I can make the connection at many other locations, just not through this router.

I've tried to make my settings as lucrative as possible to allow the connection to happen:

Status:
Current Firmware Version : 1.21NA
Current Firmware Date : 2009/07/09

Firewall:
Enable SPI: UNCHECKED
UDP Endpoint Filtering:  Endpoint Independent
TCP Endpoint Filtering:  Endpoint Independent
Enable anti-spoof checking:  UNCHECKED
ALGS: ALL CHECKED

Virtual Server Settings (As specified from previous posts I've found...):
Name IP Address Protocol / Ports Schedule Inbound Filter Edit Delete
IP47  192.168.0.151  47 0 → 0  Always  Allow All     
PPTP  192.168.0.151  Both 1723 → 1723  Always  Allow All     
L2TP  192.168.0.151  Both 1701 → 1701  Always  Allow All     
L2TP2  192.168.0.151  Both 450 → 4500  Always  Allow All 


PLEASE give me any help you can. I really need to be able to do lab work from home when I can't get into campus buildings. Thank you!

Okay, the obvious question:

Have you tried removing the 4500 from your network, power-cycling your modem, and attempted a VPN to the school without it in the chain?

The router is in your home, not in the school, correct? Are you connecting wired or wirelessly?

I am running FW:1.02, but I am able to VPN out with what seems to be a more restrictive environment.

Use Unicasting: Off
Enable DNS Relay: Off
UDP: Address Restricted
TCP: Port & Address Restricted
Anti-spoof checking: On
All ALG Configs: On
Multicast Streams: Off

If I am hosting the VPN session, I do add the appropriate Virtual Server settings, but nothing onerous.

Let us know if a direct connection from your home works.

Thank you for the reply HankRiker.

At this point I have everything working correctly.

This topic can be closed if that is the custom, just wanted to log it for future searchers if they find they have a similar problem.

I called up my ISP and talked to them for a while. It ended up being mostly their issues. The above posted settings ARE WORKING with correct ports enabled by my ISP for necessary VPN access.

if the VPN is working fine with the modem try dmz the IP Addres of the computer that has the vpn.

Good to hear you found some resolution. Hope it works well for you.
