Trying to establish a VPN tunnel between a Linksys WRV210 (public IP: a.a.a.a; private IP subnet: 192.168.150.0) and a Cisco PIX (public IP: b.b.b.b; private IP subnet: 192.168.1.0)
First of all if I initiate the connection from the linksys to the cisco using the public IP address b.b.b.b the linksys tries to compare the PEER_ID to the IP and fails The logs are below
003 [MON 16:22:06] "TunnelA" #11: initiating Main Mode

016 [MON 16:22:07] "TunnelA" #11: sending encrypted notification INVALID_ID_INFORMATION to b.b.b.b:500
017 [MON 16:27:12] "TunnelA" #11: next payload type of ISAKMP Hash Payload has an unknown value: 209
018 [MON 16:27:12] "TunnelA" #11: malformed payload in packet
019 [MON 16:27:12] "TunnelA" #11: sending notification PAYLOAD_MALFORMED to b.b.b.b:500
NOTE: The PIX Peer ID FQDN is a dummy FQDN that does not/cannot resolve and cannot be changed since there are a lot of previously connected VPN Tunnels on it.
--------------------------
Then if I remove the remote IP and have the PIX initiate the connection I get the following error:
The IPSec SA could not be found for 192.168.150.0/24 === a.a.a.a ... b.b.b.b === 192.168.1.0/24
Has anyone ever successfully created a VPN tunnel between a Cisco PIX and Linksys Router?

I have tried enabling and disabling PFS. Also I have tried setting the encryption/authentication to Auto but still no luck.
The PIX is managed by another company but I'll try to get the config.
Linksys VPN

Yes, of course.
Can you post the PIX config?
On the Linksys, do you have PFS enabled? It is not enabled by default on the PIX.
Can you post screenshots of the Linksys vpn configuration?
