[CLUE-Tech] Marginally OT: VPN client

[Sean LeBlanc]

Hiya. This isn't specific to Linux, but here goes:

Has anyone set up a Cisco 678 to allow VPN through? As of now, I'm trying to
get the W2K Cisco client to work. 

I googled up a discussion that suggested this:

set nat entry add <myinternalip> 1723 <myexternalip> 1723 TCP
set nat entry add <myinternalip> 0 <myexternalip> 0 47

I did this, did a write, and tried my client again. I still get an error
message saying the "remote peer is no longer responding." 

Then I remember that I might have to tweak some settings in the Linksys
Wireless Access Point Router that I have between my box and the Cisco 678. I
fire up the browser, and find that IPSec is already set to be passed
through. I don't have to do anything else, do I?

Here's my setup in a nutshell:

Internet---->[ Cisco 678 ] ----> [ Linksys WAP ]  ----> [ W2K box ]


Also, has anyone used a Linux or FreeBSD client? I did some quick googling
on the FreeBSD client, and what I saw didn't look too encouraging.
