VPN connection fails w/new router

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.vpn (More info?)

This is a LAN w/ 3 computers; 2 XP Home SP2 and 1 XP Pro SP1

The XP Pro has a SecuRemote VPN connection which worked fine on a DLink
DI-624 (but the router gave a "network cable unplugged" bubble off &
on, so I replaced it).

Installed a new Linksys WRT54GS and the VPN connection failed. I
called the guys where I am trying to connect to, and they said that the
connection always fails with Linksys routers...they did not give a
reason why.

So, I replaced it with a Netgear WGT634U. Same results...connection
fails.

I removed and reinstalled the SecuRemote VPN-1 utility (not client).
Same results...connection fails.

Netgear tech support had me add port 500 and ports 1000 - 6000 into the
WAN setup for port forwarding. No difference.

If I connect the computer directly to the RCA cable modem, I can get
through just fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Becky
