Re: 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.

The T mobile service may be behind a proxy rather than just a NAT, and is
not allowing the right protocols thru.

Try using TCP based encapsulation with the client.

TIA
