Update 3/2/10 — Notes to self:
RV082, or perhaps any VPN system, limits connections to only allow 1remote connection per IP address. So, from my office I can connect remotely to a client via VPN but I cannot create a second connection simultaneously with another computer from my office to that same VPN system. The way around this is to pull the power from my office cable modem, pull the LAN cable from my router and connect it directly to the second computer, then replug my cable modem. That somehow forces the remote VPN system to fully break any residual connections. Unfortunately, just closing the VPN connection is not sufficient, nor is just unplugging and replugging the cable modem.
Second, I had to reload all the settings by hand for the RV082. Apparently, all those test and reset and test and resets I did left a mess in the RV082 prom. Resetting the RV082 to clear all custom settings and then reloading them by hand (as opposed to restore from a backup) reduced the size of used memory in the prom significantly…and I connected faster!
Download the Quickvpn client here:
Imagine that, My XP didn’t have ipsec running so I got connected to the router but I would get kicked off.
Start/Run/services.msc and then set ipsec to automatic
My other big problem was with updates. I think the firmware on the router didn’t match the lastest QuickVPN software.
Very frustrating.
[edit] Problem with slow response. Remotely changed MTU from automatic to manual and 1500…saved setting and lost remote administration (have to go in early to reset for workers)…should try 1460
