PPTP connection

[LLudlow]

I had to replace my PIX 506 with a Cisco 831 router. Users who are behind a linksys router can no longer connect using their pptp connections. The error is 619. All other users who are not behind this linksys can connect just fine. Any help would be great!

Are the Linksys connections wireless?

 

[LLudlow]

no they are not, all hard wired

 

[bcastner]

Please try this as a test on one of the affected machines:

Copy/paste the below into notepad and File, Save as... Linksys.reg :

------- begin copy/paste below this line
REGEDIT4

[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec]
"AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule"=dword:00000002

------- end copy/paste above this line

Double click the resulting Linksys.reg file and merge with your registry.

Reboot and test.

To resolve the issue i had to turn off IPSEC on my Cisco router

linney,

He was having firewall issues of a sort. He was not passing GRE ported information for NAT traversal.

He wasn't passing anything. With my lack of Networking knowledge I just looked up the error message and passed that on. Thanks for explaining it. You can see why we need our "Network Expert" at this forum and not elsewhere.
