Hi all,

I have a problem getting two computers to connect to a cisco pix
server
via the cisco vpn client. Its the age old problem of being able to
connect the one computer, and then connecting the other computer
which
forces the first connection to stop working.

My setup is that there is a Westell 2200 modem/router connected to a
Netgear EN524 ethernet hub. These two devices are in another office
(shared internet usage) and so there is a link that comes from the
hub
into a local ethernet switch. From this switch i run in to a DLink
DI-624 router. My two computers are connected into this router. I did
have another router in place of the switch but i had the same
problem.
The internet connection is a Verizon dsl business connection with
1.5down/0.5up.

To confuse matters (well mainly confuse me) i took the computers home
to the following setup. Cable modem (new installation, cant remember
the model number) through Optimum Online. This is connected to the
same
DLink router. The computers again run from this router. Originally in
this setup i couldnt get multiple computers to connect until i turned
off ipsec passthrough in the router settings. This made them both
work
at the same time.

So my question is how do i get multiple cisco clients working in my
office setup?

Any help is greatly appreciated, ive been tearing my hair out for
weeks
over this issue.

Cheers,

Andy.

One of two:
1. Get ESP aware routers.
2. Add isakmp nat-traversal 20 to the PIX headend, and hence allow UDP-encap
on port 4500.
(Check udp encap in VPN client sw)
