How to setup WRTSL54GS VPN?

I'm fairly network literate but I need a walk through for setting up a VPN on WRTSL54GS router and how to confirm settings are working.
I talked with Support (in the Phillipines)and advised me to set my DSL modem to bridge mode, done that and Internet connectivity is OK. But the documentation on configuring the VPN is very weak. For testing I am dropping the wireless on this router and connecting to a neighbors open wireless router and unable to connect to the VPN I setup. My router does have the latest version of the firmware.
I plan on using the VPN to connect to the network storage connected to the router when offsite.
Thank you for your help.

That was the point of buying this router. I really don't want to leave my workstation on 24/7 but, prefer to have a low cost storage online dedicated to the purpose.
Is there a home based router with firewall, wireless, wired capability, with attached storage accessable from both inside and outside securely that does not do pass-through VPN but instead can act as a termination for the VPN?
I have configured the FTP server and have connected that way but that leaves the password and username transmitted in clear text. Any sniffer could pick up on that. I want to make this a secure connection even better if I could restrict the MAC address to my laptop only connecting.
I'm open to ideas. What have others done low cost?
What if I purchased low cost network storage with its own IP and placed it inside my home network, of course it would have a NAT'd non public IP. I suspect since the router is pass through VPN the storage would have to have VPN capability?
And I think I read something in the forum that if the VPN is setup only the VPN is allowed through and I would not be able to surf the net? Not quite sure of the details how this works. Might be another road block to using this router.
Thanks in advance.

How to setup a vpn server

Can I setup my Time Capule 2TB as a VPN server so I can connect to my network from a remote (out-of-state) location or is there another way?

There is no vpn server in the TC so no you cannot use it that way.
If you want to use vpn .. buy a vpn endpoint modem or modem router or router depending on your broadband. Bridge the TC so it is simply a part of the network and all routing functions are handled by the vpn router.
If the TC is directly facing the internet.. ie you get the public IP on the wan interface.. you can connect by checking the remote access and using a decent password. Security is no where near as good as vpn but for occasional connection is probably OK. You can only use AFP protocol. So this must be done from a Mac computer. Just do a google search.. lots of sites.. lots of threads.
If the TC is not getting public IP then you can port forward AFP to the TC.. that is the only protocol still.. SMB is blocked by all ISP as too dangerous as half the computers in the world would be exposed.
There is a final issue.. you need either a static public ip or dynamic dns service. The TC does not have a dyndns client.. mobileme used to provide that service but is being discontinued. Cloud is now the way.. if you need a dyndns service read how to set this up..
http://dyn.com/support/airport-time-capsule-with-dynamic-dns/
You need a personal domain for this to work.. note also the experimental aspect to it.
IMHO vpn with a vpn router is the way to go. All vpn routers have some dyndns client services.

How to setup a VPN on standard install

hi guys,
long time reader but first time poster.
my company bought a xserve as soon as leopard came out, we'd been sucked in by all the hype leading up to it. by the time i was doing an install a day trying to get it to work (i ultimately lost count of how many i've did all up), we realised we were in over our heads.
to cut it short, i finally got our xserve running in standard config doing the usually stuff, sharing files to macs and pcs, hosting an internal mail server, ichat server and ical server. all the basic stuff you need it to do, but not much more than you could on a regular that didn't cost $5000+ (we're poor aussies don't forget so we get gipped).
i know want to set her up to work as a vpn, keeping in mind that it currently does not serve as our dhcp server (this is performed by a basic wireless router). i'm scared as **** of doing anything dns related as even saying that acronym makes my head hurt and begin to cry (i'm sure most first time server admins, and probably even some seasoned vets, know what i mean).
what i'm after is a little guidance in turning our boring standard server into a decent unit that actually does what those marketing *$%#s claimed would be so easy and painless to setup (no offense to any marketing personnel reading this, i'm sure you're all good people at heart!!!).
just to clarify, my isp provides us a static ip address and our company's website is hosted externally via a hosting company, who also host our email.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
nige

I've had some success if anybody is interested.
In my standard config of leopard server, the VPN option was turned off, and when I filled out the details to turn it on, it usually told me that I had something incorrect... one of the reasons for this I believe is because i was using the admin password for the shared key (sounds obvious now i know and also pretty stupid for even trying to do it). anyway, with this fixed it allowed me to turn on the VPN via the toggle switch and create the client config file. yah!!!! initial success.
next i forward the necessary ports on my router to the server (just to be clear, leopard isn't performing any network tasks, i.e. NAT, DNS, DHCP etc, other than those setup automatically in the std config).
with that done it was time to test the VPN, I installed the client file, filled out the appropriate fields, and bam we were on!!!
if i've been a bit vague or missed a step (i'm reliving yesterday's experience now and it's very likely that this has happened) just ask and i'll try to double back and fill in the gaps.
hope this instills some hope in fellow users that the BS sent out by marketing is achievable, maybe not when you want or as easily as you wanted it, but it can be done.
the current thing i'm stumped on now is why in the finder, the shared network drive tab disappears when you're connect to a vpn. i would have thought that the ability to search for network devices would have still been available on this. sure i can connect to the server manually, but i love simple stuff.

How to setup vpn-server in Mountain Lion 10.8.3?

Before I updated my mac mini server to 10.8.3 I used Server Admin to setup a vpn server. After the update Server Admin isn't supported anymore and my vpn settings are gone. Now i want to setup the server again, but have no clue what settings to enter where.
I suppose it starts with adding two vpn-interfaces: PPTP and LT2P.
But how further? I can't find a tutorial or manual.

I do now :-)
And many thank, that's the application I was looking for. My vpn is back online. Well, the mac-part. I still can't connect with a Win7 system. Connecting to a vpn-server of another company works fine, so it's something in the configuration of de Mini Server.
The error code is 629.
Hopefully someone can help me with this part too?

Update - it works ! At least I can connect to Mountain Lion (not server) from my iPhone using the VPN Server Configurator app.
Here's what I did :
1) download the app and install
2) setup using the help files on the web page : http://www.greenworldsoft.com/product-vpn-server-help.html
3) at the last stage you need to setup port forwardin on your router
4) under Airport Utility 6.0 you cannot setup ports 500 or 4500 due to BTTM conflicts but setup the other 2 ports (1723 TCP and 1701 UDP), update airport extreme
5) download Airport Utility 5.6 from here : download already extracted utility it is in it's extracted form as is necessary under Mtn Lion (thanks to NetUse Monitor for the download - great app by the way)
6) run 5.6 and setup port forwarding (Advanced-Port Mapping) for the other 2 ports (500 and 4500 UDP), update airport extreme
7) that's it, I was able to connect to the VPN from my iPhone !

How to setup external access in VM?

We need to setup a Microsoft VM and allow external access without using my company VPN as we need to test the web services integration with other vendors. could you please help how to setup external access? Thanks

Hi Wilson,
As a prerequisite , that VM need to access the gateway .
It means that you need to
create an external virtual switch then connect that VM to external virtual switch then allocate a LAN IP for VM .
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj647786.aspx
After this you may think of this VM as a physical machine in your LAN then do what you need .

How to setup Mail Server in Lion

I'm wondering how to setup the mail server if I have a website that is being hosted by a site like go daddy. I really have no IT experience and wanted this server to help my company get organized and on track. So far I have been able to get the VPN and File Sharing working. My next steps are the mail server and iCal. Thanks for the help it will be greatly appreicated!

Well, it depends heavily on what operating system you're using, what mail server you're trying to install, your network topology, etc. Realistically, this is a question that is probably better asked in a forum for whatever mail server you're trying to install...

How to check "show vpn status in menubar" by .mobileConfig-file

HI,
I've created a .mobileConfig (or .networkConnect) file to automatically setup the VPN-connection for our users. Is there a way to also check the box "Show VPN status in menu bar" by this configuration? According to me it should be possible, I only can't find the right xml-tag to add to the config-file.

Thanks Marvin,
How could I capture the traffic from initiating peer so that I can figure out that UDP port 500 is blocked or not, with the help of wireshark...
In my network ONT/Modem (having four ethernet port) is installed at both the end and from one of its port the router is connected at each side and IPSec VPN is configured between the router. to check the UDP port status, my question is, should i connect my laptop (running with wireshark) with one of the port of ONT and capture the traffice or is there any other way and how that traffice will tell me that port 500 is blocked or not?

Final Cut Server - How to setup a search by timecode within a production.

I'm relatively new to FCS and trying to setup the structure necessary for our work environment. Does anyone know how to setup the ability to search assets by TC within a production by creating a timecode option in the asset filter? I found some default timecode options in lookups but not sure if they would meet the needs.

You're off to a good start, assuming you can truly connect to your server within your private network.
To get VPN working over a public network, you'll need to do the following:
1. Change your server from an automatically acquired IP address from DHCP, to a manual one. In one of the steps below, you will forward VPN ports from your router at the firewall to your server's private IP address. If your server's address gets changed by your DHCP server, then the forwarding won't work. You can take the automatically assigned address it has now, and convert it to a manual one, keeping the same address.
1a. At your DHCP server (time capsule, for you), configure to reserver the IP address that is assigned to your server, so it can't dynamically assign some other device to that address by accident.
2. At your router/firewall (time capsule for you), manually forward the Ports used for VPN services to the intrnal IP address of your server. I think apple's airport config utility makes this pretty self explanatory.
3. If you suspect there's any chance that your external IP address changes occassionally (many IPS's do this), then sign up for a service like DYN-DNS (free). Once you have an account with them, you run the DYNDNS daemon on your server. It will ascertain the external IP address of your network, and forward this info to the DYNDNS server. when you try to connect to <youraccountname>.dyndns.org, it will automatically redirect you to the public IP address of your server.
Once you do step 2 above, the public will begin probing your server. It's remarkable how quickly it begins. Use good passwords on your server. Use a good shared secret for VPN. Dont turn on any server services (ex., SSH) that aren't absolutely essential, and if you do, mae sure they have good passwords, and use RSA certificates for them if possible (turning off SSH password access completely).

Help! Confusion over how to setup intel3945 wireless and rc.conf

Hi,
I'm very confused. I've already read through all the wikis and searched many forum posts. I can't get my wireless intel3945 to work on my dell vostro 1400.
Iwconfig says the wireless card is at wlan0 and dmesg | grep iwl says it has detected it. However, when I try a iwlist wlan0 scan it returns :
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
I think the problem is that I don't know how to setup rc.conf correctly or use the command line to test the wireless. Forum posts say many different things on how this is done.
These are the steps I have taken:
uninstalled the ipw3945 and ipw3945-ucode and ipw3945d.
installed iwlwifi and iwlwifi-3945-ucode
in my rc.conf modules, added iwl3945.
I'm not sure how to setup the networking section, this what I have now:
lo="lo 127.0.01"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo etho)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
And in my dameons I have 'network'.
How can I scan for networks and connect to them on the commandline? I'd prefer not to use a gui tool because they never work and never tell me why they're not working.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

(less complicatd than the above)
don't use netcfg2
Why?
no particular reason.
Simply when I configured wireless, netcfg2 wasn't available. Since then it (wireless) works, so not having any problems, I did not modify network setup. Next week or so I am going to install Arch on my daughter's laptop (per her request ) so I will try netcfg2.
So this is what I have for ipw3945 wpa2 or iwl3945 with wpa2
Below you will find a lot of words so read slowly but there is not much actual work
ipw3945 setup
kernel 2.6.23.x (Arch or vanilla)
or
kernel 2.6.24/2.6.24-gitX (patched with ipw3945 patch from gentoo -> compiling separate module for 2.6.24 may fail. if you want kernel patch I can post a link)
for default kernel install Arch packages for ipw3945, ipw3945d, ipw3945-ucode
or
if you want to compile modules, you will also need ieee80211 (first uninstall kernel's default, then install from sources otherwise ieee80211 from sources may refuse to install)
modify /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(.... @ipw3945d @network ....)
that is all you don't need to add ipw3945 to MODULES=(.....)
because ipw3945d will automatically start ipw3945 module
do not list eth1 in network config section:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
as you see, in my case only eth0 (wired) is listed and eth1 (wireless) is not listed
now you are done with basic network configuration for ipw3945, restart network/computer to bring up ipw3945d/ipw3945
check if modules are up and basic network is set:
#lsmod | grep ipw
#ifconfig -a
or
#iwconfig
if all is o.k. configure
WPA2:
configure router for wpa2
client: basically follow Arch wiki:
configure wpa_supplicant (installed already of course)
#wpa_passphrase your_ssid your_psk
keep terminal window open with created encrypted wpa passphrase and in the second terminal window edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="your_ssid"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=whatever_output_from_wpa_passphrase
Above pairwise and group setup will depend on your router (network capabilities)
almost done:
run
#wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i eth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
the above assumes that your ipw3945 is set as eth1 (from iwconfig output)
to connect to the network I am using "wireless assistant" http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.ph … tent=21832
that is all for ipw3945. You may automate network starting/connecting to wpa2 by writing simple script.
iwl3945
--kernel 2.6.23.x
install iwlwifi and iwlwifi-3945-ucode
--kernel 2.6.24.x
install only iwlwifi-3945-ucode as kernel has iwlwifi module incorporated
default iwlwifi does not support LED so I suggest to install something like knemo for kde to show active network icon. The latest iwlwifi does support LED but it is not yet incorporated into 2.6.24 vanilla kernel.
if you have kernel 2.6.23.x with external iwlwifi module
modify /etc/rc.conf
and add iwlwifi to
MODULES=(.....)
nothing else is required.
if you have kernel 2.6.24 with integrated iwlwifi module you don't have to edit /etc/rc.conf
As in the case of ipw3945, I do not list wireless interface (wlan0) in /etc/rc.conf
for kernel 2.6.23.x
load module/restart network or simply restart computer
check if module is up
#lsmod | grep iwl
#iwconfig
or
#ifconfig -a
WPA2
same wpa_supplicant.conf as above, so if you already have it no need for modifications.
start wpa2
#wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
the only difference in the command is wireless interface: wlan0
connect to the network, again I am using "wireless assistant"
vpn
I am using cisco vpn. Client is provided by vpn host, cisco does not provide vpn client for individual download, but you can find it on line.
vpn host will provide pcf file for you
- install vpnclient
- copy your VPN profile (vpn.pcf) to the
/etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles
directory
-- start vpn client
/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient connect vpn pcf_file_name
provide username and password and off you go
From my experience none of linux gui for vpn works reliably so you will have to resort to the command line.
That is all, a lot of writing, but actual ipw3945 and iwl3945 configuration is straightforward and very short.
Hopefully this will work for you.
forgot to add regarding vpnclient (cisco)
you will have to modify
/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init
line 38 and line 101
replace
/sbin/lsmod
with
/bin/lsmod
