I'm a new user for the RV016 and am trying to get my cisco vpn client to connect to the unit. My understanding is that any true IPSec client should be able to connect. Here are the log entry's from the RV016 when I try to establish a connection with VPN: Jul 16 18:10:42 2005 VPN Log size (864) differs from size specified in ISAKMP HDR (848) Jul 16 18:10:37 2005 Connection Accepted UDP 209.250.124.202:500->67.102.112.8:500 on ppp1 My configurations is as follows: RV016 Firmware version : 2.0.3 (May 3 2005 14:52:07) Tunnel No. 1 Tunnel Name tilmant Interface WAN2 Enabled -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Local Group Setup Local Security Gateway Type IP Only IP address 67.102.XXX.XXX Local Security Group Type Subnet IP address 172.20.235.0 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remote Client Setup Remote Client Dynamic IP + E-mail Addr.(User FQDN) Authentication E-mail address email@address.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keying Mode Manual IKE with Preshared key Phase1 DH Group Group1 Phase1 Encryption 3DES Phase1 Authentication MD5 Phase1 SA Life Time 28880 seconds Perfect Forward Secrecy Phase2 DH Group Group1 Phase2 Encryption 3DES Phase2 Authentication MD5 Phase2 SA Life Time 3600 seconds Preshared Key 0x123456789 CISCO Client Ver 4.6.04.0043-k9 Group Authenication Name: tilmant Password: email@address.com Enable Transparent Tunneling IPSEc over UDP Connection flow is: Work computer --> Pix 515 --> RV016 I have also tried it working around the pix, same issue. I spent 4 hours on the phone with Linksys which they ended up having me try there quickvpn. That did not work either and would not have work in the long run since I need to forward port 443. Has anyone got this to work? I use the cisco vpn client without issue against a PIX, VPN5000 with no problem.
As odd as this may sound, I've seen a vpn tunnel actually start working because the Pfs wouldn't accept a binary entry. In that instance, I used a pass phrase (eachoneteachone) or something similar (and more clever) and my tunnel started up. I guess what I'm saying is that occasionally, PFS entries block tunnel connectivity. See if that helps... Doc
How did you set up the Cisco VPN Client to even try to connect? I can't quite figure that bit out. You're a genius!
