I am setting up and testing a windows pc to connect to a easy vpn server on on 2851 cisco router. Now in the lab we are testing there is no public ip available as it is within a university. So to simulate the internet we are using a router 7200 before the windows pc. The cisco
2851 router has 2 interfaces. The internal interface is on a 10.1.0.0/8 subnet. We assingned a 162.168.0.9 address to the external interface. The exernal interface of the 7200 router is 162.168.0.10 and the internal interface is 138.26.1.1. The client pc interface is on 138.26.1.2. The vpn client is 4.0.5 version cisco vpn. Now the idea is to have a vpn tunnel between the 2851 router and the windows pc. We set the tunnel up between the 162.168.0.9 and the 138.26.1.2 addres and the remote pool bet 10.1.1.50 to 10.1.1.70 address. Now the conection is made but both on the server and the client the tunnel status is shown as down although everything else is up. On the client it shows transparent tunneling to be inactive although it is active using ipsec over udp. The client pc picks up an ip from the pool given in the server so the connection is made. A tracert from the client to 10.1.0.2(an internal address in the 2851 subnet)shows it reaches the server 162.168.0.9 but doesnt know where to go from there. I am not sure how to fix this issue and make the 2851 subnet talk to the 138.26.1.2 client talk to the subnet through the tunnel.Help needed. I am a novice and am using the gui available with the routerThanks a lot
