Linksys RV042 VPN from XP

by razz2 . Updated 21 years, 10 months ago

This is really bugging me. I deal with Watchguard and Sonicwall vpn’s. I have also used Netgear FVS318’s. The Linksys RV042 looked great for a client I have as the feature to price is great. I am sure a VPN between 2 of them would work, buit from my client it is a pain. I have used Softremote, but only in a GroupVPN format as It will not connect otherwise. I am now trying the XP VPN client and nothing. Every config on the router fails with either a request for aggresive mode saying that dynamic Main mode is for microsoft VPN only…..WHAT? Thats what it is! Also I can fail with no connection assigned. The layout is a WinXP laptop (10.10.10.x)behind a linksys router using NAT connecting to a static RV042. I have opened ports, removed the NAT firewall and everything. I have also seen other on the net asking about it. I found one that said it is hard and you have to tweak IPsec on XP. All the XP IPsec filters are in as per the Linksys Knowedgebase. ANybody have this happen to them?
