I just picked up two Linksys BEFVP41 VPN routers
I've set them up, the router create a vpn tunnel between them.

Home Network
WAN 68.9.212.x
Lan 192.168.0.x
sub 255.255.255.0

Work Network
Wan 64.252.63.x
LAn 192.168.0.x
sub 255.255.255.0

So I should be able to ping an ip on the home lan
for example 192.168.0.231
I get nothing.

I've created lmhosts, hosts files
so the computer name resolves to an IP etc..

it just doesn't seem like the VPN is actually working beyond the fact that the router is saying it is connected.

any ideas guys???
 
Set up the computer at home as the "DMZ Host" as Linksys likes to call it, or punch the VPN port straight through the router to your VPN machine via port mapping?

Dunno
 
well VPN protocol is pptp which rides on TCP port 1723
is this vpn device behind your firewall? if so, you need to forward that port to it. but you're saying the routers think they are connected?
 
the router is the VPN device
 
for those interested it was a setting on the router I didn't set up correctly.

I was choosing to limit my local and remote groups by IP addy, when I should of allowed a subnet to connect to each other. but all in all it works. Now all I need is a faster upload on my cable moden and on the DSL at work.
 
:unsure:

I plugged my DLink router right in and it works fine. :p

but it's usually just my computer that's on anyway, but I do let my mom use my cable...for free...
