DHCP over IPSEC through a d-li 504T DSL box

Hi all,

Got a small problem here.

I'm trying to set up a VPN link from my pc at home to a VPN gateway
I've got at work.

The client pc is connected to a local network via a d-link 504T dsl
beast which also has a 4 port 10/100 hub.

The VPN client is from the same company that I purchased the VPN
gateway from.

If I tell the client not to request a dynamic IP address (dhcp over
IPSEC) everything works and I get connected to our Univ network.

If I tel the client to enable dhcp over ipsec then I get as far as (I
think) waiting for an ip address to be handed back to the client. I
can see the dhcp server at the other end handing out an apropriate
address, it just doesn't get as far as the PC.

Someone else with a broadband connection who has their machine
directly connected to their broadaband connection picks up the IP
address just fine.

I'm wondering if there is something on the D-Link 504T that's stopping
the dhcp request from being passed back to the PC

Any thoughts?

Alex

Since there are so many variables invloved that could be causing this,
more info is needed, starting with what vendor is the VPN box and client?
