VPN over UMTS



Hi guys !

I'm not sure if the USA group can give any input to this or if I have a somehow European problem as it's related to a UMTS connection. Our company has some "try and buy" UMTS boxes from the German provider T-Mobile. In the default configuration, they assign private IP addresses and apparently do NAT for Internet access. In this setup, the Cisco VPN client does not work but as soon as I'm requesting a public address (this can be done in the software), things work fine.
Does anybody know why it doesn't work with the private address and NAT? It should be quite the same as with NAT behind a DSL router (which also works), shouldn't it? We'd prefer the NAT thing fort security reasons.

TIA
