Linksys Router Stopping VPN?

[mc_blue]

Hello all,

Thank you for your help yesterday.

I spent the whole day installing XP, getting my Internet working and then attempting to use my VPN. After spending 85 minutes on the telephone with my uncle (the IT guy) we discovered that although my Linksys WRT54G is set to allowing VPN passthrough (IPSec Passthrough, PPTP Passthrough and L2TP Passthrough) it would not work with the Fortinet system and Fortclient software that I was using in our Birmingham business.

I then connected my PC straight to the set-top box, rebooted it, and the VPN worked (including the CCTV footage he he). I've got a bit of a problem now though, what to do with the router... It is quite unusual but like all PC issues there's always something that doesn't work. I've also tried disabling the firewall, it makes no real difference.

The final caveat is that my father's VPN to the bank works fine on our home network...

Anyone experienced any problems with this router?

Cheers

Amar

If fortinet is an IPSEC client then you are now running it through a NAT router so you might need to change some settings and it may still not work but its worth a go. Check the 2 links. One is very specific about versions etc but the info at the bottom of the page really applies to ipsec clients in general.
