my apology if this is a duplicate message.
i have a pc running windows-98, connected to a cable modem (i
also have had the same problems that i am about to describe with
adsl). the pc is connected to a LinkSys cable/dsl router. i
have ports 256, 259 & 264 directed to my pc. dhcp is not
running on the router.
all internet/web access works just as it should, but i can't for
the life of me get SecureRemote to work with our Firewall-1
system at work.
i am using 4.1 SP-2 build 4165 on the pc and 4.0 on the
firewall. i have added the entry :userc_nat (true) to objects.C
on the firewall and re-installed the policy.
the symptoms are:
i am able to build a new site and download the topology, no
problem.
when i attempt to ping a machine on the firewall protected
network i receive the authentication popup and after entering
the requisite information i see, in the firewall log, that the
icmp request was decrypted, accepted, and so on, but i never
see, in the logs, a response to the ping going back to my pc
(via the router). the ip address associated with the ping is the
correct address, as provided by the NAT stuff in the LinkSys
router. if i use telnet instead of ping, i don't even see the
telnet request in the firewall log. as a possible aside, i note
that the icmp request is: icmp-type 3 icmp-code 0, which is
different from what i see in the logs from other users.
if i unplug the router and plug the cable modem output into my
pc then everything works fine, both to the web and to the
corporate network via the firewall, but that doesn't allow me to
use other pcs on the same cable connection, which is one reason
i installed the router in the first place, the other being to
protect my pc.
so far, i haven't been able to interest anyone at LinkSys in
working with me on the problem, but i think that it's mainly
because i haven't been able to talk to the right person at
LinkSys. i'm going to copy them with this mail so perhaps it
will filter down (up) to their engineering department. BTW,
this router is a really nice piece of goods, i highly recommend
it (other that for SecureRemote, of course)
i have enabled SecureRemote logging on the pc and while the logs
are interesting, i can't really get too much from them, at least
not enough to help me resolve the problem. the router also
maintains a connection log but i haven't been able to find any
information that defines exactly what this log is telling me,
such as, is the connection logged when it's initiated or when a
response is received, how do i reset the log, if possible, and
whether or not i can control the level of logging. perhaps
LinkSys engineering can answer these questions for me. BTW, i'm
running version 1.33 of the router firmware.
i will greatly appreciate any and all help, suggestions, etc.
i really hope this is just some stupid configuration issue but
i'm so close to the problem that at this point i probably
wouldn't recognize the solution if it were in front of me.
e-mail will always reach me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and/or
