Re: NIGHTMARE - AT&T Global Network Client + Linksys
I have the same problem with AOL DSL through SBC and the Linksys BEFWS11 version 3. I called Linsys and the first guy told me to flash the firmaware. That didn't work so I called back. The next guy told me to find the receipt and call back for an exchange. I am still looking for the receipt. The problem is I cannot log into my Amex account (or any other secure site)while on the wireless BEFWS11. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.TY |

| JellyB,
You have to have all the "net firewalls" checked in all of your network card settings. The ATT Virtual, and your pyshical hardware settings. This is the only way it will work.
To those of you getting "default gateway" error, it is because "net firewall" is not checked.
While I'm here, I have a question for you advanced users. Does any one knwo where/what the registry key is for this "net firewall" box to be checked/unchecked. I have been searching with little luck so far. |

harrysiii-
If you're using IPSEC tunneling with the AT&T Global Network Client, my understanding from AT&T was that the AT&T Net Firewall feature was required (non-negotiable). When you connect using the AT&T client software, the AT&T managed VPN network would check for and require the AT&T Net Firewall to be active before completing the authentication process. PPTP tunnels on the other hand didn't require the AT&T Net Firewall to be active, but IPSEC tunnels did as part of their service offering. At least that is what I was told by an AT&T account team when I asked a similar question... |

I use a Linksys WAG54G router together with the latest AT&T Network Client (5.09.2) and none of the above mentioned methods worked. I still have the hanging 118 error and nither Linksys or AT&T support can help me. Is there anybody, who has a solution for a WAG54G? |

The never ending thread that saved my bacon.
Using the following components:
1. LINKSYS WRT54G on firmware version 2.02.8-security (this is the BETA fix they recently released).
2. AT&T Global Network Client (version 5.09.1).
The suggestion a few posts back to enable "Port Range Forwarding" on the additional ports of 5080-5080 and 3389-3389 fixed my inability to connect. I had enabled 500-500 already as well as 1723-1723 on a Linksys suggestion.
Strangely, the AT&T Global Network Firewall settings all "checked" still allowed it to work fine.
Tested the Client with the router's "DMZ" setting (Applications & Gaming > DMZ) both enabled and disabled. Both connected without issue.
Also, in the Global Network Client's "Show Login Properties" setting, I did have "Negotiate UDP Encapsulation with VPN server for NAT traversal" checked. And it worked.
The key appeared to be the port forwarding. With the correct entries it works like a charm.

IP port 50
UDP ports 500 and 4500
TCP ports 389, 709, 5080, 21, and 80
make sure you have enable IPSec passthru |

I too am having VPN-hell. I've read the thread and tried the remedies mentioned, but still no luck. I have comcast cable modem, Linksys BEFSR81 V3 (FW 2.45.5) and AT&T Client 5.09.1. The VPN connection negotiates and connects. I can ping the VPN server shown in "Show Connection Status". I can also ping the IP address assigned to my PC. However, I cannot ping/telnet/http to anything on my VPN intranet. Nor can I access anything on the internet, until I disconnect. Once I disconnect the AT&T client, my internet connection is great. Any ideas? |

The VPN connection is working at last. It turned out to be the firmware. The version on it was the first release for the BEFSR81 Version 3 router. The FW release notes spoke about packets passing and some DNS issues. |

I use the ATT client through my wireless at home. I have found if I just run 64bitWep it works fine. If I try to go higher to 128 or use some other type of protocol I seem to have issues. This is just what I have experienced, I would try with just an open wireless connection first and see if you can connect with the client. If you connect then just try to enable wep or what ever flavor of wireless security and try again. Wish I could help more. |

Re: NIGHTMARE - AT&T Global Network Client + Links
AT&T dialer version: 5.09.2 English
Linksys wireless: WRT54g
VPN worked fine over wired connection, but when I went over wireless, I kept getting
"negotiating encryption keys with VPN server" "authenticating..."
then the VPN server ip adress would change and again.
"negotiating encryption keys with VPN server" "authenticating..."
It turns out my wireless adapter didn;t have the net firewall service checked. I reversed all the settings marked from previous threads and was able to connect.
Thanks to all for help and suggestions! |

| Hey all,
Just so you know, I have noticed in the updated version of att (even the 5.0's), that you can go into "start, programs, att, att managed client firewall" and UNcheck them in there.
Here is the reason why I was looking for the reg check, but this new option overcomes it (version 6 has this option as well, but we cant use that yet at work).
anyway, we have users that would get a major delayed response on their outlook, or no response at all unless they initiated a send/receive. I noticed that if you uncheck the net-firewall, this didn't happen. The problem was, when they went home with the net-firewall unchecked, they couldn't login to ATT.
So, I was looking for the ATT reg check so I could write a script to check/uncheck this automatically as needed.
Well, a few months back we noticed that version 6 had this managed firewall, and weeks later, version 5 got it through an automatic update.
if you keep the net-firewall checked in the NIC settings (so you can connect and dont get the 101 error), you can uncheck them in the ATT firewall software settings.
This option allows all your programs to work as if you dont have the net-firewall checked, but ATT connects because the net-firewall actaully is checked.
hope this helps some.  |

| If it means anything to anyone, I use the linksys WRT54G as well, and use wireless 128 WEP with my laptop.
I have no ports open or forwarded with my router - But I think that will depend on your ATT configuration. I have the "managed VPN" settings enabled on my ATT client. If you use other methods, mine may not help you out.....
just wanted to give you my configuration before any one says it wont work for them.
any questions, let me know. i may be able to help you out.
