MSN\Qwest ships DSL modem with "unconfigurable" firewall

Hey all! Real quick...just implemented a Cisco VPN concentrator here and lo and behold certain users couldn't get in. The concentrator is setup with the standard UDP port 500. All users BESIDES MSN\Qwest DSL users could get right on. After a few calls and some frustration, Qwest informed us that the firewall on the DSL router they ship is "unconfigurable"...odd that it allowed Windows VPN TCP port 1723 but not UDP 500. I've also heard rumor that certain online games wouldn't work either with these DSL modems. Moral of the Story: Research your VPN solutions for server AND clients before implementing ;-) James Lay Network Manager/Security Officer AmeriBen Solutions/IEC Group Semper Vigilans!!! _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
