Can you give us more information about how the network is setup and what the VPN is trying to connect to? &nbsp;Also, your ipsec policy info would be handy.

Actually I found the solution as silly as it is. &nbsp;When you set up a Linksys tunnel, you cann not have any spaces in the tunnel name. &nbsp;So I just put in one word and now it connects. &nbsp;Mind you the tunnel name is only known to Linksys and has nothing to do with the actual tunnel or any IPSEC info passed. &nbsp;I guess the developers had a bad day when coding this and got lazy. &nbsp;Thanks for the reply.

Cannot get Linksys WRVS4400N to even attempt an IPSEC connection out with Phase 1. &nbsp;At my company I never see the connection through our firewall successful or unseccessful. &nbsp;The VPN log on the Linksys doesn't give much advice. &nbsp;The tunnel status says Down, not disconnected.

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.
