levw (IS/IT--Manageme): Thanks for the tip - is this something that will work on the fly, or is a system reboot in order for this to take effect (will determine when I do it) Thanks Rich

I have a hopefully simple question about IP's on AIX. I currently have a number of PC's running Procomm Plus telnet sessions connected to the server (rs6000). I now want to add a terminal at a remote branch, using a pair of linksys VPN boxes over the internet. I have the tunnel set up, but...

Hey Guys One thing to remember: The speed of the VPN. This has nothing to do with the VPN itself, but rather your "high speed" internet provider. Where you have probably gotten accustomed to 10 MBs or 100 MBs on your local network, most broadband providers limit you to 128 KBs or...

It sure will. The VPN box simply looks at the IP request coming from the computer(s) connected to it. If it is on the remote network, it sends it there, otherwise it sends it to the net. Rich

War Daddy (Visitor): You might want to look at the thread labeled "Linksys BEFVP41 VPN problems" to see all of the trials and tribulations that people have been having doing exactly what you are asking. BUT, the short answer is that if using two BEFVP41's, it should work for you...

heliosphere (Visitor): Just for reference (It has been mentioned earlier in this thread), it is possible to connect two of the BEFVP41's when they both have a dynamic connection. Verizon tech support in my area (Baltimore) tells me that they do not yet have static IP's available on their DSL...

TimRaines (Visitor): What I mean by blocking port 80 is that you can't run a web server on your end. You can still access web pages, you simply can't post any from your own computer unless you have it mapped to a different port. Rich

heliosphere: I am not sure where you are located (which Verizon you have), but I know for a fact that in the Baltimore area they block port 80. I am not sure of any of the other ports (I have not checked) but I do know that I can connect, and assign shares, across the VPN with a pair of...

Markku: Thanks again for the help. I am not only the "Computer Guy" for our company, I also have other functions. I will get a chance to work on this a little over the weekend, and the beginning of the week, and I will let you know how I (We) did. It sounds like you have run into...

markku Thanks for the tip on the RIP and static routing - I think I had read in one of the other BEFVP41 threads (the really long one) that someone had set up the routing and got their system to work - effectively that computers on network A did not know where to look for IP's specific to...

Appollo: It strikes me as odd that it is necessary to un-block WAN requests to get the VPN to work - mine works with the block enabled (or at least says it is connected). I thought the theory of the VPN was to establish a private tunnel without opening your network up to "outsiders&quot...

Johnny2can: Thanks for the information. Do us a favor - you said you were setting up the BEFVP41's tonight - post back and let us know how it worked and what your settings ended up being. Thanks!! TimRaines: I agree with the crusade - Just remember the words of Steve Wozniack - "Never...

Here is my problem I have a pair of BEFVP41's, and I can get them to connect fairly reliably (IPS problem - different story), but I am having a ping problem. The network is set up as follows: Main Office: DSL (1.5/128) IBM/AIX telnet server : 192.168.1.1 BEFVP41 : 192.168.1.6 PC's ...

nagolcj: Great thought, but unfortunately I don't have any software like that running yet, but thanks!

RGN: Just remember to set up the remote VPN's with the IP of the main VPN as the remote security gateway(fixed), and set up the main to accept any IP (since with a dynamic IP, you never know what it will be). Keep in mind that if the settings on each end of the tunnel do not match (including...
