Using WRT54GS at workplace; unable to VPN from home into office

We are using a WRT54GS wireless router at our office and I often need to VPN from the road to the office.
When I attempt to use XP's VPN feature, I receive a dialog stating connection could not be established.  I've confirmed my office IP address.  I have my primary office computer spoofed IP designated as a DMZ-forwarded address.  I can connect to my home office via VPN using a legacy SpeedStream wireless router. 
Is this a firmware version issue, or are there router configuration requirements I'm missing?
Thanks,
M Kalmus

hi , there are a couple of things that you can try on the linksys.....
Forward the VPN ports ...1723,500,50,443-447 .....also decrease the value of the MTU to 1492....
if this does not work...check if you are able to ping the office IP..,if not do a traceroute to the IP and see where the packet is dropping.

    Any chance you have a dial-up connection that uses a web accelerator to speed the loading of content?

  • Can I use iTunes Match while I'm away from Home, and my family still use Home Sharing via Apple TV?

    I would like to be able to use my iTunes Match account as I am frequently away from home.
    However, my family would also like to be able to use Home Sharing to listen to music, watch movies stored on the family iMac, using the Apple TV.
    At the moment, iTunes Match & Apple Store uses a different Apple ID to Home Sharing.  I don't want the kids to be able to download movies etc on the Apple TV.
    Is there a way that I can achieve both at the same time?

    Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation.  As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

  • How to use Mail to sent messages when away from home

    How do I have to configure my "Mail" on my PowerBook G-4 (OS 10.4.5) in order to use it in a WIFI enviroment?
    At home when connected via Airport to my own Outgoing Mail Server (smtp 8. sympatico.ca) I have absolutely no problems. However, last year I was on a Cruise Ship and tried to use the existing WiFi System. I could receive messages using Mail, but I could not send messages using Mail.
    At the moment I'm visiting my son in the Boston area and I'm having the same problem. I was forced to use the Sympatico Web Mail in order to sent E-mail messages. (receiving mail using "Mail", represents no problem)
    There has to be a way to configure Mail to originate messages and sent them as well, but I cannot find anything which tells me how to do that.
    The version presently installed for Mail is 2.0.7.
    Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!

    Hank,
    The problem here is your ISP (looks like its Sympatico) blocking connections to their mail server from computers not connected directly to their network. I wouldn't blame your ISP though b/c as I understand it almost ALL ISPs block these type of connections to cut down on SPAM being sent.
    What you need to do is to find the outgoing mail server for the network you are on.
    For example, if you look on the "Mail" settings on your Son's computer and note his "Outing Mail Server" (in the "Accounts" pain of "Mail" prefs) settings and then go to your machine and put in that same "Outgoing Mail Server" info then you should be fine.
    You can do this on your machine by selecting "Add Server..." from the "Outgoing Mail Server" drop down menu. When the window comes up just type in the same settings your Son uses. If he does not have a machine with mail setup on it then you can call his ISP and they'll tell you.
    Remember to switch the "outgoing mail server" back to your home server when you return home. By the way, most places (like hotels) will give you their outgoing mail server info if you ask them, so next time you're on a cruise with wifi you might try asking the IT people.
    Best of luck,
    Allen

  • Unable to analyze from home.

    I've just started using server from home. It works fine at the office. It works fine at home too except that I cannot analyse. When I attempt to do so the drop down box freezes and the program is unresponsive - even if working on just a single clip. I cannot force quit and always have to hard reboot.

    Are you doing it from list view of the assets? Don't Do That.
    Only analyze from the icon view or the info window.

  • Printing problem from home to office

    I have an HP1606dn laser printer which works fine when I am in the school building.  However, all of a sudden, if I try to print wirelessly from home (which I have been doing for 2 years), I get the message that the printer is offline and I cannot print.  Apparently, the printer is not turning on automatically if I am using a VPN.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks a million!!!
    Mary Jane

    Are you using Windows or AppleTalk printing to connect to the 2003 server?
    Have you tried deleting the printer from the server and re-installing it? Tried re-installing the driver and PPD for the Phaser? Also, have you tried deleting the printer from the Macs and reconnecting?
    Do your server's Event Logs show anything?

    If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

  • Error 807/800 - using PPTP VPN from Windows 7/XP t...

    Hi,
    I wonder if someone could help me? I've had this issue for about 3 months now and I’m completely at a loss now. I’m trying to connect remotely to a Windows 2003 server via Windows VPN (PPTP) from home. This had been working fine for months (Draytek 2830n purchased in Feb 2011), there has been no configuration changes beforehand to cause the problem.
    Problem
    From Windows 7 PC – I receive Error 807 – “The network connection between your computer and the VPN server was interrupted. This can be caused by a problem in the VPN transmission and is commonly the result of internet latency or simply that your VPN server has reached capacity. Please try to reconnect to the VPN server. If this problem persists, contact the VPN administrator and analyze quality of network connectivity”
    From a Windows XP PC – I receive Error 800 - Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be unreachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly for this connection”
    Steps Taken
    I have carried out the following steps to trying and resolve the issue:-
    Setup port 1723 on router(s)
    Swapped out router for a completely different model
    Upgraded firmware on Drayek 2830N
    Tried various laptops and desktop PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7
    Switched off local windows firewalls and Norton Anti-virus software
    Opted out of BT Web Address Help service
    Rebuilt the Windows 2003 Server and setup remote access again.
    Tested the desktops and laptops that didn’t work at home from various locations (work, friends houses) and they work fine from another location (so this rules out the Windows 2003
    The only thing that I can’t swap out is my BT line to the Exchange. Any ideas or suggestions would be extremely helpful. I’m thinking it must be a problem with my ADSL connection, perhaps the traffic is being blocked (for some reason) as I’ve explored all other avenues. I’m out of contract with BT now (although I don’t want to move ISP) I might end up having to if it solves the problem.
    Many thanks for looking.

  • Unable proxy ping using CISCO-PING-MIB in MPLS VPN ?

    using CISCO-PING-MIB in MPLS VPN ?
    In CISCO-PING-MIB.my document, wu can use the CISCO-PING-MIB to
    Proxy ping the hosts in the MPLS VPN (vrf).
    But when i do it, router will return the message:
    errstat =12; errindex = 1(ciscoPingProtocol).
    If Router isn't configed vrf, can proxy ping.
    If set the error vrf name in snmp packet,
    errstat=10; errindex=8(vrfname)
    Do Cisco Support Proxy ping with vrf???

    sorry, i don't use unix station, i program to send snmp messages.
    parameters:
    ciscoPingProtocol = 1(IP);
    ciscoPingAddress =x.x.x.x;
    ciscoPingPacketCount=
    ciscoPingPacketSize=
    ciscoPingPacketTimeout=
    ciscoPingDelay=
    ciscoPingEntryStatus=4;
    ciscoPingVrfName="vpn1";
    The parameters is right, because when i don't use ciscoPingVrfName, i can
    ping the address.
    But i set the ciscoPingVrfName="vpn1", the error is received.
    thanks.

  • Unable to capture from VCR

    I am trying to capture some video clips from VCR into Final Cut Pro to create a historical record for the family.
    I have done this successfully in the past using moviebox dv however I recently upgraded my IMac and the new model has a firewire 800 port instead of a firewire 400 port like the last model I had. Since this upgrade I have been unable to use the moviebox dv as final cut does not even recognize it is there.
    Are there any compatibility issues that anyone is aware of?
    I am using a 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 20" IMac with osx 10.6.5
    I have already posted in the wrong forum and got some suggestions,
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2709119&tstart=0
    but none which have helped yet. They suggested I try in the FCPro forum, so here I am
    Does anyone have any other suggestions or feedback?

    Excellent ... but sadly you can confirm that the unit is operating properly with this cable?
    Unfortunately this has been the experience of some folks trying to work with DV (FW100) devices connected to FW800 host ports on their computers. I don't know the cause of the issue specifically, but one workaround that has worked for many, including myself, is to pass (daisy chain) the signal via a different device that hosts both FW400 and FW800 ports ... for me, when using a Sony J1 deck, that was achieved by using an external FW drive that I had available. I connected the drive to the computer via FW800 and the J1 deck connected to the drive via FW400. It worked.

  • How do you fix 'unable to upgrade from version 0'?

    I have been working on 6 ibooks over the past year, documenting a lot of stuff for user manuals for our school. The ibooks were all created in iBA version 1.0, but are not published - we only use them internally so we just use the previews.
    I gave up trying to upgrade my 1.0 iBooks, it takes too long to 'optimize' the files when I try to open them in 2.0. I have read all the issues with iBA 2.0, but decided to download 2.0 on another computer and wabt to try to re-write all my old 1.0 manuals (I have all the files that went into them).
    However, when I double-click to open the 2.0, nothing happens. So I go to 'File' and select 'New from Template Chooser'. I then get the window with all the new templates, including the portrait ones. When I select any template, say the 5th one for example, I get the prompt "The document 'Textbook 05.ibatemplate' could not be upgraded. Unable to upgrade from version 0". This happens for every template. I don't understand. I downloaded the 2.0 from the app store onto a 'clean' computer. Yes, it has Lion on it and all the spec requirements to run iBA. Can anyone help me with what to do next?
