I think it is just hit or miss (and people seem to remember their last experience).
I have a similar model Linksys but wired (BEFSR41 V3) and it does not allow me to create a VPN/PPTP connection using the external address of the router (to the VPN server on our LAN) from inside the LAN (works fine outside the LAN). I use a certain version of the firmware to enable the VPN (VPN/PPTP does not work with the firmware in BEFSR41 V4, and the latest firmware in V3 - the router appears to forget to respond to an ARP packet when you look at it on the sniffer, if you are into the technical details) and When I complained to Linksys about the external address not working they suggested an even older version of the firmware - I didn't try it because my users are happy with the router with the current firmware and I always believe in the old adage 'if it's not broke, don't fix it'.

The old SMC I had (a 7004WBR I think) does this, as does the Linksys BEFW11S4 (v4 I think) I replaced it with. I believe the Belkin my sister had did this, and the older BEFW11S4 (v2) that replaced it does. I've only seen reference to one or two that didn't, actually. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
