Jenni, Yes, it does have that facility (email identity format). Unfortuately the Static-to-Dynamic arrangement (outlined in GTA document) was unsuccessful. Definitely initiating the VPN from the Linksys end, but the logging was very rudimentary so it wasn't possible to get much info out of it
When I attempted the static-to-static arrangement (using the Linksys current IP) the Linksys locked up and needed to be restarted (power cycle). This happend each time the static-to-static arrangement was attempted. I have given up on the BEFSX41 for this kind of stuff - I'm putting it down to cross platform compatibility issues. There have been many firmware issues associated with the BEFSX41 so the inablity to create a tunnel between it and the GB-1000 shouldn't really be surprising. Thanks for your posts everyone Hamish -----Original Message----- From: Jenni O'Connell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 28 February 2003 9:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [gb-users] VPN between BEFSX41 + GB-1000 Hamish Dies the Linksys have a facility to send an identity in email format as well as the IP addresses? The dynamic-static document specifies that you need to set the identity (because the static GB treats the remote GB as a VPN Client), and it definatly won't work without it. You would obviously have to initiate the VPn from the Linksys end, as it is the client. Does the Linksys have any debug logging for VPNs? Alternatively, you could just set up the static-static vpn and change the config slightly whenever the IP address changes. I guess that depends on how frequently it changes though.

The GB-1000 has a static address and the Linksys is dynamic. I have tried to configure the systems as per the static to dynamic gateway document, but without any luck When I try to create a tunnel based on the current IP address of the BEFSX41 and the GB-1000 (ie as per static to static arrangement) the BEFSX41 locks up and you need to cycle the power to get it going again.... Any hints/tips etc would be most appreciated. (Note: There are sufficient licenses on the GB-1000 to cater for this tunnel) Regards, Hamish Cant BATES SMART www.batessmart.com.au Important Notice.
