Sonic Wall 2040 and Linksys WRV54G VPN connection

Good Day,

I'm trying to establish VPN connection between the Sonicwal 2040 at work and Linksys WRG54G at home.  I have matched all the require proposal and IP address.  But I can't see the connection.  When I go into log file in sonicwall, this is what it showned:

1 06/15/2006 10:02:43.192 SENDING>>>> ISAKMP OAK INFO (InitCookie 0x87e9b1f5e9095cec, MsgID: 0x0) (NOTIFY:NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN) 24.249.241.30, 500 68.99.180.169, 500    
2 06/15/2006 10:02:43.192 IKE Responder: Received Aggressive Mode request (Phase 1) 68.99.180.169, 500 24.249.241.30, 62465    
3 06/15/2006 10:02:43.192 RECEIVED<<< ISAKMP OAK AG (InitCookie 0x87e9b1f5e9095cec, MsgID: 0x0) (SA, KE, NON, ID) 68.99.180.169, 500 24.249.241.30, 500  

note:  I notice that the IKE Responder IP port is different from the SENDING and RECIEVED.  It is showing 62465 instead of port 500.  Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

What do you mean by pinping linksys from the sonicwall?  How do I do that?  At home I have a dynamic IP and Static at work.  
i am not familiar with the interface on the 2040 ... so i cant give you exact instructions.
there should be diagnostic utilities in the sonicwall, and one of them is ping.

when you create your VPN, you are linking your office and your home so that they appear to be on the same network ... which means the devices on both networks should be ping-able to each other using internal/LAN IP's.  for example, if you go to start->run and type cmd on your computer at work ... you will get a command prompt.   at the prompt type : ipconfig  and you should see the internal/LAN IP address of your work computer.  do the same thing on your home computer.  the two computers should be able to ping each other on that internal IP... and the sonicwall should be able to ping your home computer on that internal IP ... and the sonicwall should be able to ping the linksys using the linksys's internal IP.

i have only done VPN setups using 2 sonicwalls .. so i cant help at all on the config of your linksys .. other than to say it should have an internal address that matches the network assignment you defined for your address object in the sonicwall.
Any other suggestion?  I did try to connect the sonicwall and linksys router at the main office and it work perfectly, but when I test out the linksys at home with a dymanic ip, it giving me different port.
Are you connected to a consumer DSL line at home?
Yes, I'm currently connect thru a DSL line
