Lee:
This is a real issue that we have had with certain DSL modems. What you're describing is sometimes VPN Passthrough". Netgear is one of the few that clearly documents this: http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101222.asp Regards, Frank From: Lee H Badman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 3:16 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Multiple VPN Connections through home router Not your typical WLAN question. We use L2TP/IPSec VPN for remote access into campus for home users, travelers, vendors, etc. Other than secure remote access, we also like to tout this as a way to secure home wireless network sessions for those who don't otherwise turn on their security options. Here's the problem: we have a growing number of cases where multiple (usually 2, like spouses or roommates) users attempt to VPN through the consumer class SOHO routers (wired and/or wireless). When more than one session is attempted, either the first is the only one that works, or the first gets bumped. We have done some research on units that promise multiple session pass-through (like DLink's WGT624, for example) but are not having luck. So- wondering if others have the same problem with remote users and multiple VPN sessions through the SOHO boxes, and if you have found a model or two that are friendly to multiple sessions (without fixing IP addresses and doing port forwarding/triggering).
