Group, My employer has installed Bay Networks Extranet hardware/software to allow employees to tunnel into the corporate network using the Extranet Client which I think uses IPsec. I have the Extranet Client installed on my WIN98 PC and it works just fine if the PC is connected directly to the internet. But, when I try to use it behind the STN router, It times out trying to connect to the host. The sockets in use window does show a connection from my Win98 pc to the VPN Server on port 500, but it eventually times out. I noted that the Linux IP MASQ FAQs talked about patching the Linux kernel to allow VPN. As a test, I loaded up RedHat 6.0 and was able to patch the kernel and get the Extranet VPN Client to work when running using RedHat as the router/firewall, but I would much prefer to use STN. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. STN has been rock solid for the last 2 years and my switch to a cable modem went in with no problems. Hopefully VPN can/will be handled also. Thanks!
