Re: Trouble getting Greenbow VPN Client working with RV042
I gotta ask if both of you are using the same "Greenbow" client? I do not think that is the Linksys recomended client. I have had issues with linksys and Netgear small business ipsec devices when you dont use thier client software. IPsec vpn is a bit fussy. |

"If" there were differences in IPSEC implementation amongst the greenbow versions, it would be listed at the (greenbow) site.
Here's a tutorial for using greenbow with Linksys (now CISCO) routers I put together a few years ago:
»www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showt···?t=48394
The folks who've used this have been more successful than not (from what they told us at Linksysinfo) in getting connected with greenbow to the WRV54G and RV0XX series routers.
Additionally, here's a link to the Quickvpn "guidelines" I, a friend, and various WRV54G/RV0XX users put together to help the linksyinfo community:
»www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showt···?t=47114
When I posted this, I originally started with just "6" rules, but over time, others started helping.
As previously pointed out, NETBIOS and quickvpn do not play with each other at all. I've noticed that when using quickvpn, information that would otherwise be available via PPTP is not available when using quickvpn.
Here's a link Toxic (linksysinfo site admin) posted with regards to netbios issues with quickvpn:
»www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showt···?t=47646
In the event the links are "deleted" because the are connecting to other sites, I've attached the instructional information in word documents.

Doc,
I haven't had any success using your tutorial and being able to access certain network applications when making VPN connection via greenbow to the RV042.
At this point I am tempted to get ZyXel USG100 so I can use SSL VPN. |

If anyone can get you going, it's Doc. 
I hope you don't mind me saying so, and understanding your frustration here, but unless you have a bad router and/or firmware, it seems from everything you've posted that your issues still seem they very well could be client/system configuration related on either end (or even the other router between you).
Despite Cisco treating the RV0 series as the red-headed step child since taking them over, the RV0 series is a pretty solid VPN end-point device. Realizing your desire is to not use it as such, but just as a passthrough device and with a 3rd party client as well. Plenty of lower end routers can handle that, as long as you configure them correctly. That can be a delicate and sometimes frustrating task no matter who you use. I hate to see you invest more money at this point having not ruled that out. Your decision, but there are knowledgeable people in this thread who have attempted to/can help you rule it out if it really is your router is bad before you make that decision. Your call. |
