Hi Mike, When the other member mentioned 50 and 51 he was talking about two protocols ESP and AH rather than two ports. ie -- access-list FromInternet permit esp any host 1.1.1.1
If your using ESP/AH protocols you will need to allow it bidirectionally, so if you have an access-list on the "inside" interface of your router (ethernet) you must allow protocol 50/51 back out. Most people don't bother with protocol 51 AH anymore as ESP provides everything AH does and more. rgds, Ciaron ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 10:40 PM Subject: RE: VPN not connecting [7:50144] > I've been working on trying to eliminate the variables on each side of the > VPN....
