We are trying to install and configure our new cisco 3000 vpn concentrator at our location with no success. each time we connect it we can ping it and access the management system but no one can get in or out. The instructions for this hardware werevery poor with just a minimal quick configuration setup. do we have to put anything in our route table? Is it a necessity to have the dns domain name in there? we use fast.net's dns server.

more points awarded if quick response

Also everytime we connect the vpn concentrator the ethernet activity light on the router goes off.

Have you been to Cisco's website? They have the whole configuration manual listed there at "http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/vpn/vpncon/vcogs/vcogs22.pdf". I found a step-by-step configuration process which did mention including theDNS entry among other identifying listings. It also mentioned connecting the external network to ethernet port1 and the internal network to ethernet port2 using the two cables you should have received with the concentrator. Each port needs to be configured for the right network. You may need to put a static route on the router or remove an existing one that points traffic away from the vpn concentrator. You are also requested to add a default gateway so the concentrator knows where to send its traffic. Don't have any idea on the ethernet activity light going out unless it's related to the configuration problems you are having. If it were the connectivity light, I'd recommend checking to see you used the cables they sent. Could be a problem requiring a crossover ethernet cable. Best wishes.
