Hi, I was wondering if anyone would can help,

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.
My ISP tells me that there are no blocked ports, hence the focus on the WAG354G.

I have enabled in the gateway, ipsec, etc... can anyone shed any light on what I may have missed ??

all of these are enabled...

IPSec Passthrough: PPPoE Passthrough: PPTP Passthrough: L2TP Passthrough: Firmware 1.01.58

What kind of VPN? Will it work if you remove the Linksys WAG354G v2?
(Bonus points for posting model and firmware version.)

Hi John,
The gateway is the only method I have of connecting to the net so unable to remove it, i.e. modem built in.

The utility provided to me is a Cisco Systems VPN client software Ver 4.8.01.0300

The company Host IP address is entered and the transport is IPSec/UDP

transparent tunneling, IPSec over UDP(NAT/PAT)


I just launch the client select the connection and connect... if from anywhere else other than my home it connects ok....

Hi Guys,
unfortunately the IT guy didn't get back to me today... I'll try him again tomorrow.

From your suggestions... I have tried various combinations of wired and wi-fi with and without the firewall enabled, dynamic routing enabled and the DMZ enabled with port forwarding to my IP address.
rebooting both the laptop and the Cold booting the gateway at each combination. All with no change to the vpn status .
Running ipconfig, this confirms that I get a company IP address when I use the Cisco VPN Client.
