VPN, Windows XP and Linksys – need help

by darin.w.cross . Updated 22 years, 11 months ago

I am trying to connect a small business office with a remote location via a VPN connection. The host computer is Windows XP and the configuration appears to be set up correctly. The office uses cable modem to access the Internet and a Linksys BEFSR41 is used as a firewall/NAT between the cable modem and the local LAN where the host resides. I can connect to the Linksys from an outside source, so I know that I have connectivity to at least the Linksys, but cannot make a connection via VPN to the host. This is my first attempt at doing this, so any help on what I might check would be appreciated. I suspect that the problem lies in the config of the Linksys. I have updated to the latest firmware which supposedly corrects several VPN issues.
