Connection issues between Cisco 1720 router and Cisco 831 VPN Router
Hello,  I have a remote office that has a Cisco 831 router that has a VPN tunnel to a central office with a Cisco 1720 Router. I am unable to authenticate to the Windows 2003 domain from the remote location and I can not use Remote Desktop/Terminal services to or from the central office.  I can do everything fine locally and with the Cisco VPN client software.

Here is my config for the remote office:

It workes a few weeks ago, but then the ISP of the remote site made some "changes" and now it isn't going through.

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,

By the way, I can ping and resolve servers/clients across the VPN, ping time is around 28-32ms.

Thanks

I have discovered the issue, there was a "Blackhole" router. Reference http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q314825.

I added the command: 'ip tcp mss 1412'  and 'ip tcp path-mtu-discovery' to both routers, but the clients still had issues. I tried to add the command: 'mtu 1412' to the ethernet interface, but it says "Interface Ethernet 1 does not support user settable mtu".

So I had to manually set clients MTU to 1412. As some of the clients laptops, I would prefer not to manually set the MTU on the client's interface

The version is 12.3. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Tareef

Can you specify what changes were made?  Did the ISP close specific ports or the like?

If you go to http://www.grc.com & run shields-up does it show the necessary ports open?

Hello kbbnet,

They said the perform some maintenance on their network.  No ports were closed. But I just discovered from troubleshooting that the MTU has decreased. I had to set MTU on the client to 1412.

I tried to set it on the 831 Ethernet 1, using command 'ip mtu 1412', but when I do a 'sho int eth1', it still shows MTU 1500.

I need to set the MTU on the router to 1412, but not sure how.

Thanks,
Tareef

On your ethernet interface try using the command ip tcp adjust-mss 1452.
ip tcp adjust-mss 1412

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
