Greetings...
I just purchased a DIR-130 for it's VPN capability. I followed the instructions in Section 2 of the Installation document entitled, "Connect to Another Router". I can communicate with the DIR-130 and have configured a VPN connection.
However, when I'm at the remote site and try to establish a VPN connection the client (THEGREENBOW) sends the phase1 message and the DIR-130 never responds. I am unable to establish any VPN connection when I try to connect using the IP address associated with the LAN port on the router.
The DIR-130 is in the DMZ on my network.
Is this functionality (VPN to a LAN port) not supported? Do I have to set my DSL modem in bridge mode so it can connect to the WAN port on the DIR-130 for the VPN to work?
My DSL modem (Actiontec Q1000) has a DHCP server, supports wireless 802.11n networking, port forwarding, DMZ hosting, NAT, firewall, and all the website blocking and scheduling access. I don't want to loose all this functionality by putting it in bridge mode so the DIR-130 can establish the PPPoE connection through the WAN port.
Please help! Is there any way to use the DIR-130 as another switch on my existing network and establish a VPN connection to it?
Thanks...
Joe
