Hello Mike,
A little off topic, since you arent dealing with EXACTLY this
scenerio .. but ...
I had no success with the LinkSys products and VPN. An MS technical
support person and myself finally troubleshot it down to Gre47 not
being allowed through the router. We contacted Linksys via a
conference call and the Linksys people kept telling us to forward port
47, to which both of us yelled at them that Gre47 has NOTHING to do
with port 47 .. however, that was the only response we got from
Linksys. My recommendation, go straight Cisco (probably cost you
something in the whereabouts of $1000 CDN) route.
FYI, I had read some documents about older versions of firmware
allowing Gre47 through, however, this was sometime ago and I did not
follow up with it.
Just my two cents worth ..
