PPTP Problems with RV320

I just bought a new RV320 to replace my older RV082 in my local office network. I was able to get the RV320 set up and running, but had a problem with the PPTP settings. On the RV082 I have three gateway-to-gateway VPNs set up and when a user logs in using a PPTP VPN they are able to access resources on any of the gateway-togateway VPNs. I set up the RV320 the same way and had all of the gateway-to-gateway tunnels up and running and verified from my internal network that I can reach the servers on each tunnel. I set up a PPTP user and verified that I can reach the network from a remote computer, but when I try to reach a resource on one of the gateway-to-gateway tunnels it crashes the RV320 and I have to reconnect all of my gateway-to-gateway VPNs. I ensured that all of the pass throughs are enabled and haven't found any other settings that seem out of place. Can anyone think of anything else that I may need to set up to get this to work?
I know a lot of people wouldn't use the PPTP with the other options available, but this is the best option to connect my Surface RT tablet to the network while I'm on the road since a client isn't availble for it.
Thanks,
Clinton

Clinton,
just found your post and it sounds similar to an issue I am experiencing with a client.
Two sites, RV320 with latest firmware in the main office and a satellite office with a Netgear unit. Both connected via a gateway to gateway IPSec vpn. The link is very stable. The satellite office initiates the connection. The main office RV320 also has a number of users setup for PPTP remote access to company resources such as rdp/rdc.
Our issue is when I vpn in with pptp to the main office, the RV320, the moment I try to access the satellite office subnet it triggers the IPSec gateway to gateway vpn to crash. I then have to remote into the satellite office and manual restart the link.... then all is fine again. Now, if I am physically at the main office, and ping or access the satellite office subnet, all is fine.
My thought has been that either I do not have the gateway to gateway vpn setup properly or there is some access rule I am missing. I need to do some more research and experiment with the connection. It very well could be my setup as this was the first time I have setup IPSec... Just as a note, the RV320 itself never crashes ... it just shows the IPSec vpn is down ... I need to isolate the issue to either the Netgear or Cisco side...
I will follow this thread and see if you find out anything.
cheers

Time-out problems with RV320 (after upgrade from RV042)

config:
dual wan
WAN1: 4G router (DHCP) - approx 25Mbit/ 8Mbit
WAN2: PPOE (DSL) - 1 Mbit/ 0.2 Mbit
worked with a RV042 before and upgraded to a RV320 now.
all other things are unchanged.
3 problems - 2 solved/ not critical - one still open:
a) not critical: DHCP Status does not include all devices (changing view - but all-time problem)
I would suspect a software bug.... DHCP itself works perfectly/ IPs are assigned (just not shown in status)
b) solved (at least for now): internet connection featured time-outs; after many tries, disabling the SPI in the firewall helped
btw: this only happend for the WAN1 - WAN2 worked (or is that slow that the additonal wait time did not matter ;-)
c) very annoying: exchange connection (from Outlook client to external exchange) still has time-outs (mostly the whole mail client hangs/ ends to be restarted).
As soon as I disable WAN1, it works! But it´s not the LTE WAN itself - switching back to the RV042 does not show the same symptom.
I tried: include IP into local DNS (in general I work with google DNS servers - but changing that does not help either), opening all traffic for teh realevant IPs and disabling the firewall completely. no positive results....
thanks for any hints....

I agree with you on a, probably a bug of some sort.
b is an issue I've seen before, and even on similar bandwidth (25/5) on my rv016. What was able to figure out is that the carrier (ISP) is sending about 4k/sec of ICMP packets to the router, which in turn makes the router think it's under attack so it drops the connection. As you can tell, disabling the SPI helps. For me, putting another router in front of my rv016 (on 2 of 3 wans) was my only 'permanent' solution.
c sounds like there's a protocol binding/static route in the rv042 that you need to add to the rv320. I'd check that first.

Problem with Port Forwarding (when PPTP is up) in WRT-160N

Hi, everybody!
I'm looking for some help with Port Forwarding in my new router from Linksys. I've bought the router afew daysago, and was badly surprised when I found out that there is DD-WRT firmware is installed in it (the router was 100% NEW when I've purchased it). I have downloaded the latest original Linksys firmware file and successfully flashed it.
But I still have problem (same I had on DD-WRT firmware too) with port forwarding for my DC++ and Vuze (app for torrents): I've written port forward for ports 49151 (for Vuze) and 4000 (for DC++) to be forwarded to my desktop computer (IP 192.168.1.201) -- I've seen a post at this forum, that there could be a problem, if you forward to an IP, which is inside DHCP local zone, so I've forwarded it to .201 IP (my local DHCPzone is 192.168.1.100 - .149). But forwardind doesn't work ((
What's wrong?
My configuration:
Router IP: 192.168.1.1
PPTP (I've got it from my ISP)
IP address: 192.168.226.127
Default Gateway: 192.168.226.2
DNS 1: 192.168.1.1
DNS 2 & 3: 0.0.0.0
PPTP Server IP Address: 192.168.226.2
Username: ****
Password: ****
Single Port Forwarding:
Application name     External port     Internal port     Protocol     To IP address     Enabled
Vuze 49151 49151 Both 192.168.1.201    Checked
DC    4000 4000            Both           192.168.1.201 Checked
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As you have mentioned in your post that your ISP has provided you a PPTP connection with an IP address: 192.x.x.x. The IP address which is provided to you by your ISP is in a Private Range, and if you try to forward any ports on your router it will not work, as your ISP modem will block that port. So you need to get a Public IP address from your ISP.
As you are getting Private IP from your ISP, so this connection is called as NAT behind NAT, and your Modem is acting like a Router.
So now you have 2 options, get the Public IP address from your ISP or change the connection type.

Cisco ASA 5505 - problem with negotiating IP address from PPPoE

Hi all,
I have problem with negotiating IP address from PPPoE. There is following design: ISP providing vDSL ending on VDSL modem in bridge mode. Behind brigde modem is ASA 5505 terminting PPPoE on OUTSIDE. Everything works fine except negotiating IP address from PPPoE server.
I have configured ASA 5505 with (ASA Version 9.2(2)4) for PPPoE like this [1.]. But If i try to "show" IP address on OUTSIDE interface a get this [2.], ok strange but let's continue. If list "show vpdn pppinterface id 1" i get this [3.]. Seems that I got public IP addres what was right, but this IP address was not associated with interface OUTSIDE?
Well, if I set IP address manually like this [4.] and also set a default route everything works fine but what will happen when ISP change reservation for my IP address or default gateway.
I have tried different version of ASA OS like 8.4, 9.1 but without luck.
Can anybody help me. Thanks a lot.
Regards
Karel

Problem with Cisco 861W router and outgoing VPN

We have a Cisco 861W router that is blocking an outgoing PPTP on the internal access point only. The outgoing VPN works when the traffic is through a wired connection or the connection is on another access point. We fail to make a connection only when connection to the 861W's internal Access Point.

Hello,
i have the same problem with router CISCO861W-GN-E-K9. Version 12.4(22r)YB5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Can someone help?
Thank you.
Here is my config for internal AP and router.

Weird problems with XFCE

So I got a weird problem with XFCE (I think) sometimes everything just stops working, my PPTP vpn, can't start new applications, no shortcut commands on my keyboard works etc. For example when this happened and I tried to open a text document with gedit i got "Process /usr/bin/Thunar exited with status 1" and when I'm connected to my vpn I can't access the internet, not browsing and I can't ping other websites. And in my terminal instead of "icamaxi@localhost" it becomes "[email protected]"
This problem happens randomly and it works if you restart the computer.
my xinitrc looks like:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
exec startxfce4
I also get this error message sometimes if that helps you
"(process:1055): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
No protocol specified"
Xorg log
Another thing that is not related to this problem but that is annoying is that i can't lock my screen, when I try nothing happens, I've tried the shortcut command and also with the actions button applet but none of this work.

I'm not certain about your first issue, but does it ever occur when you aren't connected ot your VPN?
For the screen locking problem, what are you using to lock your screen? I use xflock4, and have a keyboard command set up in the keyboard commands to lock my screen.

Problem with Port Forwarding in WRT320N

Good day.
I have a web-server and Internet-radio translator to local network of my provider. And I found a problem with Port Forwarding. I'm trying to setup 80 & 8000 ports to forward. And it's working but only for Internet, without provider's local network. My web-server isn't accessible in local network and radio-translator too.
So is it possible to forward ports absolutely - for any type of connections?
P.S. DMZ is working like Port Forwarding.

If you ask questions you have to mention that you have an PPTP connection to the internet and another network directly on the internet port. Otherwise noone will really understand your question as it is a very unusual setup.
Your setup is not one really supported by the router. You are lucky that it works but don't expect too much. Port forwarding only the internet connection. If you use PPTP the network on the internet port is basically hidden. Using that local network on the internet port is not supported.
The DMZ host is the IP address to which all ports are forwarded to which are not forwarded otherwise. The same restriction applies here.
I would recommend to ask your ISP which router they recommend for their internet connection. I think most/all Linksys routers and many other brand's consumer routers won't really support a setup like yours...

The same Macbook (booted into either OS X 10.8 or Windows 7) cannot maintain a ping/connection to the PPTP server when connected to a local dual band (2.4GHZ/5GHZ) WiFi access point.
Macbook connects and remains connected to the PPTP server (as shown in connection status,) but no traffic will pass through VPN once the connection has "dropped" internet traffic. Flood ping to the VPN server initially replies with expected <30ms ping time. Once internet traffic is passed across VPN, ping fails and traffic stops completely.
• Any other wifi client machines & OS using same dual band AP can connect to VPN and maintain flood ping to PPTP server and pass all traffic or even split tunnel. I've tested different computers using Windows XP, Windows 7, Android 4.1, iOS 6.0.1 etc. No problems at all.
• Macbook can maintain flood ping and pass traffic to PPTP server when connected to a different standard 2.4GHZ access point.
• Macbook can maintain flood ping and pass traffic to PPTP server when connected via Ethernet on same LAN as dual band AP's.
• Macbook can maintain connection/ping by disabiling MPPE encryption on the PPTP server. Running an unencrypted VPN is not an option for me however.
• Macbook can maintain connection/ping whenn booted into Windows 7 natively and disabling 2.4 band through Device Manager > Advanced tab > Disable bands > "Disable 802.11g/b".
To fix this problem, I would propose that Apple allow OS X users to disable 2.4GHZ in OS X. Doing so should allow PPTP + MPPE when connected via dual band routers as it does in Windows 7. I think asking them to rewrite the driver for OS X & Windows 7 is asking too much.

I have been through so many forums, reconfigured the Macbook, the PPTP server, reformatted, tested and tweaked until my eyes bled. Here is a collection of threads of others with similar problems:

I haven't heard anything back yet. I will update if I do.
Being that Apple takes pride in selling their own computers and writing their own drivers & software to match, the Macbook with OS X 10.8 should be a super polished, finely tuned machine. It's aggravating when I can't do relatively simple things which I can do on any other device & OS:
If you've read the first post, you know it's not possible to pass PPTP + MPPE on the Macbook Pro 8,1 with OS X 10.6+ or Windows 7 when connected to a dual band AP.
OS X also imposes a 130mbps limit on the 2.4Ghz band. I have no problems connecting @ 450mbps on 2.4Ghz with Windows 7. The range is much better than 5Ghz as expected when there aren't any neighboring AP's for interference. I've also never received interference with Bluetooth devices.
There have been a couple times where some things don't plain work right and the flexibility to fix them as an "Apple knows better than the user" policy is restricted. In most cases, perhaps Apple does know better. In this case, there is definitely a problem with the BCM4331 driver. If it "just worked" this topic wouldn't have been created.

Cannot establish multiple simultaneous PPTP connections with the CISCO 1841.

Hello everyone;
I have recently tested a PPTP connection with a CISCO 1841 router and got success. I have configured a windows 7 client and successfully connected to the router and was able to access the documents in the server PC that I have mentioned in the attached diagram. I have created number of different users  in the CISCO 1841 too. While some one is having a connection, another user cannot connect to it, which means multiple simultaneous connections aren't possible. Do I have to create a ACL for the PPTP and if yes, How ?

As long as you have the inspection engine enabled on the ASA, it shouldn't freak out of the different IP as it will inspect the call signalling and will NAT it accordingly, BUT, for simplicity, I agree with you, it would cause a lot of troubleshooting headache if there is problem as well as reconfiguration of IP on the host ends.

WRT54G Problems with internet, help, used to be fine on old router

Hello,
I've bought this router yesterday and have 4 major problems with it ( I've had a cheap router before this and all these problems didn't occur when I use that old router again):
1: I can't access some sites like gamershell or nvidia.com, while they DO load up with a proxy.
2: I can't download from at least half the sites on the www, for example everything from microsoft.com times out.
3: This disconnects after like 5 mins after starting a p2p program. Why is this thing not able to keep my connection alive ?
4: A lot of sites load slower, my internet speed is same, but it somehow now takes ages for some sites to respond after ticking in their adress or clicking on a link.
I'm Cabled to the router, the router is plugged to an old ADSL isdn speedthouch home modem from Alcatel ( 5 years old the modem is), I'm connected with it with PPTP.
Its a version 7 WRT54G router.
( my isp is planet NL, I'm on a 6mb down 1 mb up connection)
Help! Why does this disconnect with p2p, the cheap old router used to be fine 24/7 with p2p.
Please help, thanks in advance.
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

Go to the Setup page and look for the setting called MTU....set it to 1300 and save the settings.... close the browser.... turn off your router by unplugging it from the power.... turn it on after 15 secs then try getting online again.........
Check if you can access the sites afterwards..

VPN problems with SLS 10.6.2 using L2TP

Hi folks,
I see I'm not the only one having problems with getting VPN to work.
Well, I've gotten PPTP to work just fine but I do need to get L2TP to work as well.
The strange thing is that when I try using L2TP the log is completely silent.
I'm running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.2 with the built-in firewall.
I've tried turning of the firewall but still no log-entries...
I've double checked that all the ports are open, I've tried changing the VPN IP series.
I've tried to enable both DHCP and NAT... still nothing seems to do the trick.
Any ideas?

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.

Problem with threads and camera.

Hi everybody!
I've a problem with taking snapshot.
I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
I made this code:
display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                    Thread.yield();
                notifyAll();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    this.wait();
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

Hi,
I've finally managed to work this fine.
The code:
       Object o = new Object();
       display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while(!performing.isShown()){
                    Thread.yield();
               synchronized(o) {
                  o.notify();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    synchronized(o) {
                       o.wait(1);
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();
