Howdy Friends! We have a new DW 6000, transmitting through a wireless D-Link DI-624. My laptop is running XP and I need to run Cisco VPN Client to telecommute. I cannot get the flipping VPN (or Lotus Notes) to work. Everything seemed to stop when I added TCPOptimizer. Any ideas?

I recently got Hughesnet for our house since that's all that available besides really bad dial-up. Everything works fine for us except I am having issues with connecting to my companies VPN.

The VPN connection software is Cisco 4.6. I am able to connect fine and I get the little lock at the bottom of the screen and the status shows packets going through, however, once connected I cannot seem to do anything. I have tried accessing the intranet or network drives or corporate email and nothing works through the VPN connection. I have been searching for solutions but have found little help. I can see from this discussion that folks are making VPN work with only a NAT connection and I wonder if I am missing something or have to set something somewhere or what?

All help is greatly appreciated!

I was not able to get Cisco VPN Client to work at all on Hughes. Finally gave up, my employer purchased a Verizon wireless card for my work laptop to allow me to VPN in. Works great.

Don't hold your breath waiting for help from Hughes on VPN, they won't help at all.

Yes, that's true - no help from HughesNet for VPN. I am able to use my Cisco 4.6 to VPN into work.

I have it setup to use UDP and then set my Linksys router to open a few ports. They are 10000, 500, 4500, and 2967. I do not recall why there are 4, but I bet you can google it.
