Hello, I recently purchased a LinkSys BEFSX41 firewall router and have
been trying to connect from Work to Home (the router is at home). I
am using WinXP pro on both ends and connect first using PPTP, and then
run Remote Desktop.
The home router forwards tcp port 1723, and I have set PPTP
pass-through, so everything is legit on the home setup. I couldn't
get it working until I disabled, "Use default gateway on the remote
network" in my work VPN connection setup. I can now ping all the
servers and everything else seems normal. Here is the problem:
After connecting VPN and launching Remote Desktop, I notice constant
network activity over the connection, even when I'm not moving the
mouse or running any programs; there is no screen activity either.
The reverse connection (from home to work) doesn't have this issue. I
notice things are VERY slow and when I check the router firewall logs,
I find that the constant network activity is due to multiple messages
like this--
"greIn_ip_match !Found"
As long as I am connected to the VPN, the router is filling with these
messages. What do they mean?!! Why doesn't this happen when I
connect from home to work? Btw, the VPN at home assigns an IP to my
work computer that's on the same subnet as the home network, so things
SHOULD go smoothly.
thank you!
