Re: WRV54G VPN Connection problem

The answer is simple, You have to have a user id and password 7 or more characters for both. I had the same problem and called linksys to get it resolved. This little factoid isn't documented.

Note: ID and Password greater than 7 chars.

Re: WRV54G VPN Connection problem

Mandride,
I wish it was that simple!!! Both my userid/password on the vpn router are more than 7 characters. If possible, can you list your settings on the following areas of the router;
Security | Firewall
Security | VPN
Applications & Gaming | Port Range Forwarding

Plus, any settings unique on the VPN Client, i.e. no firewall, etc.

This would be greatly appreciated.

Re: WRV54G VPN Connection problem

I am having the same trouble with a WRV54G. I have changed all of the settings mentioned above, but cannot get a Quick VPN client to connect. When I try to connect, I get a Failed To Establish Connection message. If I look on the Status -> VPN Clients it showed my time of day that I connected, but the status is Offline. Also, the Duration increases even though I am Offline. I do not have a personal firewall on any client PC I am using, I have the IPSEC service running, and I have a username and password both over 7 characters. Any ideas??????

Re: WRV54G VPN Connection problem

Before clicking OK on the failed to connect message, open the command prompt and try to ping the remote network. You should be able to do so. Also type ipconfig /all and check to see if the address of the remote router is added to the DNS server list. If the remote router is not in the DNS server list, then you will get the Remote gateway not responding message.

Re: WRV54G VPN Connection problem

After trying to connect and getting the Failed To Connect error, I tried to ping the LAN of the network I was trying to connect to and failed. I can ping the public address of the router I am connecting to, and I can get into that router's configuration via the web. The Status on my router shows that I connect, but it shows me as Offline. Also, I verified that the IPSEC Service is running on my PC. Any other ideas??
