Re: Trying to set up vpn between netopia 3346n and linksys
Local Secure Group is the subnet (check to see that you can change it to Subnet) at the Linksys site.
Remote Secure Group is the subnet (check to see that you can change it to Subnet) at the remote site. The two subnets MUST be different so far as I know.
If the Linksys subnet is 192.168.3.0, then the Netopia subnet can be anything but 192.168.3.0. If they are both 192.168.1.1 now change the Linksys to 192.168.3.1 as your configuration already shows. (Either one, really, I do not know details)
Remote Security Gateway is the WAN address of the other router. It needs to be the IP address as the Netopia can't do Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN)*
It worries me that I can't see which DH group the BEFSX41 uses. (it is in the Advanced tab, according to the manual)

*Couple ways to help your track the Dynamic IP Address:
1) Have someone's PC at the site have www.whatismyip.com as their home page. Then you can call them, and they do not need to know anything, it comes right up everytime.
2) DynDNS.com will allow free FQDNs for you. You add a program to one PC on the Netopia end and it keeps them informed about the IP address of that site. The Linksys router allows DDNS to be in the router, (page 6 of that PDF) no need for a PC client. (also good for laptops, if stolen, you can see it sign on from anywhere. If you need more than a couple FQDN, they are about $15 a year for 30.)
3) VNC would allow you to sign on to a remote PC, then configure the router as if you were there. I use UltraVNC.
