Getting VPN to work through Airport Extreme

Apr 07, 2007 1 Replies

I am a PC in a Mac family. Our home network features an Airport Extreme Base Station which works quite well. Recently, I installed a Cisco VPN client on my laptop to access my work server and e-mail. The client works properly; I can get access via the VPN client from most any public hot spot. At home is the problem - the client properly creates the tunnel and secures it, but when I try to access the server, I get no response; it sticks on "waiting for" and eventually times out.



It seems clear there is something amiss with the AEBS, but I cannot figure out what would cause this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be gratefully welcomed.

There are several workarounds mentioned that sorta work, but no solutions as this appears to be a firmware bug with the VPN passthrough.

I have not checked if there have been any subsequent firmware updates for the Airport Extreme Base.
