RE: Cisco Workaround

Background:
We have a Cisco 827 router and a PIX 506e locally.  Router being in front of
the PIX.  We also have a co-location facility that we are connected via a
constant VPN tunnel.  There we have a PIX 515e.  The two pixes are what
control the VPN/encryption.
<snip>
So we upgraded the router to the latest version.
Everything worked ok, except, the VPN tunnel.  That got knocked out.  Keep
in mind that I am no Cisco expert. 
...So after a little messing around we reverted back to the old IOS and
everything was peachy.  A couple days later they sent us another version to
upgrade with and that did the same thing.  Needless to say, we are still
upgradeless.
If there are any suggestions out there, I would really appreciate it.  If I
didn't give enough info, please let me know, and I will get you whatever you
need (within my power of course).

There are 3 different varieties of the 827 (827, 827-4V, and 827H) . There are also 3 different IOS version for the 827 
(assuming you chose 12.3 line for the 827 only) IP, IP Plus, and IP/FW. I think the IP/FW is the version you want. The 
image is: c820-oy6-mz.123-1a.bin . If you don't have this, you may not have the VPN tunnel ability (I haven't worked 
with the 800 line ) . Why not post to us the IOS image name that you use currently and we can help you find the correct 
upgrade version.
