I'm not sure if anyone ever replied to this, but I'll have a stab at comments.
SmartStudent, The VPN 3000 Client, to my understanding is a Dynamic VPN client, rather than a Static VPN client such as what a PIX to PIX VPN scenario or PIX to VPN Concentrator Scenario utilizes. The nature of the Dynamic VPN means simply this- The "Server" end of the VPN Tunnel has no clue as to what the client's IP address, is, so the Server can't initiate a tunnel to the VPN Client 3000 Host. If you put a PIX 506 at each remote office, and a PIX 515 or 525 at the Central office, and the remotes have at least one, but preferably two public addresses assigned by the ISP, you should be good to go. One other thing to keep in mind... if you choose to go with ADSL for the remote offices, and it's a basic service... you'll essentially have a 128K connection upstream from your remote offices to the central office... and that could potentially prohibit things a bit for data/voice quality. The point being not to forget about that upstream speed.... I have had several customers in the past recently that have forgotten that... and then were P!$$ed off when they thought they were supposed to get near T1 speeds between offices at such a "great telco rate".

When I established Site to site VPN thru PIX & VPN concentrator , Netmeeting works fine from the network behind PIX to the network behind VPN concentrator, but when I try to do netmeeting from the remote access Vpn using vpn 3000 cleint I am facing a unique problem , the Remote access VPN client machine (connecting to either PIX or VPN concentrator ) is able to setup Netmeeting call with the PC's in the LAN behind the VPN concentrator or PIX but the reverse does not happen, Can anyone guide me about I am be doing wrong. regards, Sstudent Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy Music, Video, CD-ROM, Audio-Books and Music Accessories from http://www.planetm.co.in Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=44372&t=44188 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
