Re: linksys gateway - vpn

I have a Linksys WAG354G v2... setup this has been running fine, for
over a year now, however I recently had to do some work from home and
vpn'd into my company's network. The problem is that I can reach the VPN
server, but cannot do anything else such as network file system or run
RDP sessions.
I am sure the problem lies with my linksys gateway as I can take the
same laptop to a hotel connection and connect to all of the company
resources and RDP applications.

I was running a Nortel Contivity client on a Windows XP laptop. I had to
configure the IP address of the VPN server as "trusted" in my laptop
firewall, or I would get symptoms similar to yours. That doesn't seem to
hold with yours working from other locations, though. You are WiFi at home
and in the other locations, or wired at one of them?
If you are WiFi at home, have you tried wired?

Another problem that I've had, with an AT&T VPN client, is that it just
refuses to work if I standby or hibernate in one place, and connect to a
different WAP in another place. With the VPN "Disconnected", ipconfig
still shows the company network-based ip address. If I watch a new
connection attempt, I get a VPN address on a different subnet, but ipconfig
still shows the one that seems stuck.

I have disabled/enabled/repaired... the only thing that corrects it is a
reboot. I avoid that by disconnecting from the WiFi before I hibernate.

Have you rebooted? Does ipconfig show an address on the VPN-network?
Does route /print show routes to the hosts that you want?
