RE: VPN Question

That device uses IPSec tunnels for VPN.  In some situations, the clients
will not be able to connect from behind NAT, Proxy, or a firewall.

Sonicwall's knowledge base has several documents regarding network problems
with their IPSec VPN client.

Subject: VPN Question




Good afternoon all,



This posting is a little off track, but I'm hoping someone can help me

anyway.



I have a SonicWall Pro230 and I'm trying to do VPN with it. My users

connect from some locations and not others. Example: They could connect

from the Airport in Cincinnati, but not the airport in Las Vegas. Seems

they can't connect in many (if any hotels). In speaking with SonicWall

they said this is a known issue when connecting through a firewall on the

hotel side.



I know I'm not the first company to try this, and was wondering how others

get by this issue? Or is this an inherent SonicWall issue.



Most of my users are traveling Sales people, and will go all around the

US, and Japan.



Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.



Thanks,



Jim Brezicky
