Re: Trouble getting Greenbow VPN Client working with RV042
I have used (and am happy with) the RV042 in router to router IPSEC VPN use. However it links TCP/IP traffic, not NetBIOS. (NetBIOS is unroutable) So you must use IP addresses:
instead of \\HomePC\mystuff\ you need to use \\192.168.1.100\mystuff\ as an example.
I have not used it in Router to Client use although one of my tech support vendors uses PPTP VPNs into our RV042 and our setup was painless. No idea what his end looked like.

| Well, I have found that I can access some network resources by IP as you indicate, but not others. One problem is that I need remote desktop to function since I use it to start and stop services on the primary server, but I have had no luck getting remote desktop to work via the IP address of the server. Is there a WAN/LAN/Firewall rule I have to set up on the RV042 to pass this traffic out the VPN?
Lastly, I have set up exactly the same Greenbow configuration on my wife's Vista laptop and it won't get through Phase-2. My XP laptop with identical Greenbow configuration gets through Phase-1 and Phase-2 no problem and the tunnel is established. I've tried turning the firewall off on the Vista box, disabling the virus/packet scanning software, etc, and it still won't work. |

I gotta ask if both of you are using the same "Greenbow" client? I do not think that is the Linksys recomended client. I have had issues with linksys and Netgear small business ipsec devices when you dont use thier client software. IPsec vpn is a bit fussy. |
