Using VPN from home behind CISCO 804

I recently moved and went from a Cable modem and Netgear RP114 cable router (using NAT) to ISDN using a CISCO 804 router.  I had no problems accessing my employers network via VPN over the internet  using the cable configurtion, but now using the 804 router after I authenticate, I am not able to get any response.  It is as if a port is being blocked, but I don't see in the IOS config anything to indicate that.  I am using NAT.

Thoughts?

Thanks

What IOS version and edition are you using?

What type of VPN are you using (prefereably with names of your empoyer's equipment)?

Following is a dump of the techinfo.  It has the version and release.  This is a basic IOS config generated by the FastStep configurator.  Some of the data was replaced by x's to protect the inocent.

I don't actually know what VPN we are running, however, at one point, I was running a personal firewall product, and VPN would not work without port 500 open.

Thanks for the replies.

It appears the link implies Ver 12.2 or higher. I am at 12.0, so I don't see that it will work for me.

Rather than spend the money on an IOS upgrade, I am going to try to find an ISDN Modem and build a gateway from a PC.  I've done it before, and since I don't need the complexity of CISCO IOS to get the job done, it will be good enough until SBC gets DSL in this area.

Does anyone else have as hard a time navigating CISCO's website?  I found it nearly impossible to work with.

Also, not having instant access to initiate a service contract is unreasonable in this electronic age.  A CISCO Authorized vendor stated it would take two to three weeks to get a contract processed.  



Navigating Cisco.com is quite hard, but then it is a huge site, probably the best resource for networking information on the web, apart from experts-exchange ;).

It is rubbish that you can't get the latest version of IOS, , I just found that they have finally cottoned on to the fact that I moved companies (it was nearly a year ago) and now I can't access any sort of software downloads. What a pain.
You get used to the Cisco website...
Tim you do and then they revamp it or alter the menus again!!

Shortly after the last comment above, while loading a new release of the VPN client on my pc, I was informed that there was a different security server for NAT'd login's.  After changing to point to the new security server, I had no problems with my original IOS.  

It makes me wonder why my previous configuration (cable modem and cable router) was working, and seems like a hole in the security server, but it's beyond me.  It also makes me wonder my current IOS has all the functionality it needs, even though later IOS release notes IOS's indicate that the functionality wasn't provided until later releases of IOS.

Also, if it isn't appropriate, someone can slap my hand, but kudo's to the people at Black Box Corp, for escalating the initiation of a CISCO service contract for me (3 days) and at least making an IOS upgrade possible, should I have needed it.
