When I do the same thing for 5, I get an error message that it can't connect. Have to give it several control-C to break out of it. Something is responding, but I don't know what that response means. When I do that for port 443, the screen clears, and I get an underline cursor blinking. From what I read, if you open a command line box, and type telnet 12.34.56.78 443. I did some searching around on the net to see how I could verify if a port was open. I do have McAfee Virus installed, but not McAfee firewall. No luck, so port opening in the router is not the issue. I tried connecting my laptop directly to the cable modem, bypassing the router. Linksys support is worthless on this issue.

Once the firewall problems above were resolved, it has always worked perfectly for me with up to 6 simultaneous QuickVPN clients. For reference while typing this, I used the QuickVPN client to connet through my local router & DSL connection to my RV082 at the office and timed it - I was connected in 25 seconds from the time that I clicked the connect button.

The RV082 will log the transmittion info at it's end & you might look through the any logs on the client side router or software firewall. You will probably have to enable some logging at both ends to find what's being dropped & where. This should work very well & very simply.

Now with the newest client, the MS patch above is no longer required. Eventually, I found the patch above and that resolved the problem.

Then eventually, after many hours of working with Linksys, their official answer was that the xp firewall had to be disabled on the client machines (which I was not about to do for the travelling salesmen's laptops). The first time that I contacted them about it, the person I spoke with didn't even know that they had this software. You're right about the Linksys support of the QuickVPN client - it's terrible. Now, even though the newest version of the client sofware can get around this, it wouldn't surprise me if some other software firewall would block the ICMP packet that's required to complete the connection. In the newest version of the client software, they are doing something slightly different to get around this for the XP firewall, but it wouldn't surprise me if some other firewall software would block it (Norton, McAffee or any others).įor historical reference, here is a description of the problem that the newest version of the QuickVPN software gets around MSKB 88952. To complete the connection, the local client machine must return a certain ICMP packet (a ping, essentially). The previous version of the QuickVPN client would fail with these same conditions if the XP firewall was enabled. This sounds to me like it could be a local firewall issue on the client side.

I'm ok with using MS VPN, but there are bunches of settings for that on the RV082 that I don't understand. There really isn't much to set up on the RV082 for Quick VPN, just the username and password. To me, that means the problem is entirely on the RV082 end.

I really don't think the issue is on the remote PC end, because Linksys tried to connect from their computers, using Quick VPN, and couldn't get in. I've opened ports 443, 500, and 1723 on my remote router. My remote PC uses XP Pro.Īt home, I'm connecting through a router and cable modem. Primarily I'm trying to use Linksys Quick VPN software, but will consider using MS VPN. They've tried everything, but honestly they don't seem to know much about it. I've spent HOURS on live chat with Linksys. No problem connecting router to router, can access LAN to LAN.įrustration is getting remote access from PC not on one of the RV082. I have two RV082 at two different offices, both on static IPs.
