Hi,

My home network consists of a cable modem wired to a befsr41 linksys
wired router which is wired to a wrt54g linksys wireless router.

I have 3 win xp machines. 1 is wired into the the befsr41, the second
is wired to the wrt54g and the third connects wirelessly to the wrt54g.

I'm told that I am using the wireless router as a switch.

On the wireless xp machine I am using a static address 192.168.1.5 and
on the wired router I am port forwarding 1763, 1723, 500, 47 -51 all to
192.168.1.5

When I connect to my vpn I get a system tray Icon that shows T/R
traffic but once I make this connection I can no longer ping in a cmd
window and my internet browser usually stops working - I think this
happens all the time but i could be mistaken. If I try to browse my
network I see my network but never the vpn network. So it looks like I
have an established connection but i can't see anything.

The strange part is I get exactly the same results if I try to
establish the vpn connection on the other two machines. Even though
they both have dynamic Ip addresses and I don't change any of the port
forwarding.

The only way I can make this work is to connect to the cable modem
directly. Then it works like a charm. The vpn connection is just
what's provided with widows xp connection wizard. Can some one please
tell me how to resolve this problem? The vpn address is vpn.babson.edu

Thanks for your help

I think what you need to do is from the 1st router (the one that's
connected to the cable modem) is forward the ports to the ip address
of the second router. Then on the second router (the one the pc's
connect to) is forward the ports to the ip address of the pc you want
to connect to...

I don't know that you need to forward ports. Have you turned on VPN pass
through on the routers?
