Re: Client that actually works with RV016?
(I have not used this particular model.)
Cisco/Linksys' website has lots of potentially helpful info: »www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9···dex.html . If you don't already have the user guide, here it is.
Assuming you are trying to use the RV016 as a VPN endpoint (in which case its passthrough settings don't matter), and not trying to set up a VPN server in your LAN, are you trying to set up IPSec or PPTP (the RV016 supports both)?
I suggest you try configuring it for PPTP first. Here is how I would test the configuration. Connect the VPN router's WAN port to a LAN port of another router with DHCP server enabled (let's call this 'A'). From a PC that's also connected to router A's LAN, try establishing a VPN connection to the VPN router using Windows' built-in PPTP client. If you can't get even this to work, something is very wrong. |

Easiest solution - Get another cisco/linksys vpn endpoint router for home, such as the 4 port version. |

Any model you happen to know to work? I'm also wondering if my DSL connection might be the weak link. I guess I could build a test network using the second WAN port on the RV016 to see if I can get the remote client laptop working when it isn't connected via AT&T's network. |
