I’d appreciate any help, anyone can offer. I have made a number of attempts, trying to setup incoming VPN connections on my PC. I have a Linksys WRT54G router (v8.2 hardware, firmware v8.2.06 -latest ver-).
I have tried forwarding ports 1723, 500-510, 51, enabled VPN, PPTP, IPSec, L2TP, and have also tried DDNS. I even tried setting the DMZ to my PC, but have still been unsuccessful.
I setup a user on my PC for my friend to connect with. He is able to connect, but I’m not able to ping his IP address. He’s also not able to see any of the share folders that I have shared on my PC, so although he has connected, he does not have access to my local network.
I read that my router would need to support Protocol 47? I’m assuming my router doesn’t support this. If there is no way for me to get this working with my current router, does anyone have any suggestions for a router that will do this? What options would I be looking for in a router, to be able to do this?
I’d be looking for a 4-port, wireless-G router that does VPN (incoming).
I also read somewhere that replacing the firmware on a WRT54G router with dd-wrt firmware would give it the capability to handle incoming VPN.
