RE: VPN Question

[George Peek <GKPeek () AllstateTicketing com>]

Here is an example, trying to connect via Cisco VPN through a PIX firewall
to another PIX firewall. The PIX blocks returning packets, problem was fixed
by Cisco in their latest IOS for Pix 515E. Start trblshooting your problem
by seeing what kind of firewall they got on their end and if they have
natting going on (most likely).

Btw, try Microsoft VPN client (PP2P and L2TP), it may work!

Jim,

This is a hotel issue.  If it works in some and not in others, it means
in
this case that the source is the problem.  Unless you have round robin
VPN
IP addresses and your users do not know what the IPs are?  Which I
highly
doubt and why would you want to do this?

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
