Cisco Routers :: RV042 QuickVPN Not Working For All PCs
Oct 21, 2011
So have a RV042 VPN router that is directly connected to the ethernet port of our comcast cable modem.
If I connect to it using QuickVPN (1.4.2.1) from a PC that is connected using AT&T 3G Network it works fine!
If I connect to it using QuickVPN (1.4.2.1) from a different PC that is connected using home WiFi (linksys wrtxxx) then it fails. In the VPN log all I see is failure messages for ping.
2011/10/22 15:47:28 [WARNING]Failed to ping remote VPN Router!
If I open a regular command prompt and attempt to ping the VPN router it works so not understanding why the QuickVPN is unable to ping.
how I can troubleshoot this further. Makes me think the RV042 config is fine otherwise it would not work on a 3G connection. Something on the home PC or the home network. Not sure what to check.
I've one RV042. I've configured VPN PPTP and it work (I've redirect port 1723 on router1 to rv042). If I can try to use quickVpn, client login and receive error "remote gateway is not responding". I have redirect port 60443 from router1 to rv042. Connection it's this: INTERNET-router1-RV042.
Today I purchased a RV042 wired router. I set the VPN connection but when I try to login using QuickVPN, get stucks in "Verifying network". I checked the logs:
2011/09/22 20:43:45 [STATUS]OS Version: Windows 7 2011/09/22 20:43:45 [STATUS]Windows Firewall Domain Profile Settings: ON 2011/09/22 20:43:45 [STATUS]Windows Firewall Private Profile Settings: OFF [Code]...
From my side Im connected to a WRT54G2. VPN Passthrough enabled. Windows 7 Pro x64. No 3rd party AV or firewall. Windows Firewall disabled, also tried enabling it.
From the RV042 side it has a Static IP Address configured. DHCP server enabled. HTTPS enabled. UPnP disabled. L2TP disabled.Firewall disabled. Block WAN Requests disabled.
I have router Linksys RV042 v1.2 with latest firmware Version: 1.3.13.02-tm. And I'm using QuickVPN v 1.4.1.2. I've setup VPN connection with values, below: But every time I'm trying to connect to router by VPN it always popup a window "Remote Gateway not responding".It occurs when I'm trying to connect to VPN behind other router, when I'm connected directly to Internet the connection is established.But I'm connecting to other networks using VPN and it's working properly (behind the same router), so I think it's problem with RV042 configuration but I don't now weher.
I've been working on getting a client to Gateway configuration going for quite some time now. Had it working with a different Cisco single wan router that failed. The user replaced the router with an RV042 and we are trying to get the QuickVPN to once again connect to the router as it did before the replacement. Previously we did connect successfully with Windows 7 clients.
Router: RV042 v3 firmware 4.0.4.02-tm Quickvpn version 1.4.2.1
what i keep getting in the log is the following :
2012/10/02 12:55:07 [STATUS]OS Version: Windows Vista 2012/10/02 12:55:07 [STATUS]Windows Firewall Domain Profile Settings: ON 2012/10/02 12:55:07 [STATUS]Windows Firewall Private Profile Settings: ON
A client of mine has a Cisco RV042 Router. I've configured it to run VPN and it works, sort of. Some clients can connect, others can't, for no discernible reason.
Specific machine issues are Windows 7 x64 or x86, Quick VPN latest release, unobtrusive (Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials) security, etc. 2 separate machines on the same home remote network, 1 can connect just fine, the other can't. My laptop (Win7 x64) connects just fine, one of my techs can connect OK, the IT support guy that works for this client can connect.
Particulars of the router: Firmware version: v4.0.4.02; PID VID : RV042 V03; Firmware MD5 Checksum : 1f84d8d0a2a8b99f9bfa4409e64547aa
I have a RV042 router setup with Client to gateway VPN access, and am connecting with a W7 PC running QuickVPN. We have many PC's that already have the standard CiscoVPN client on them, is it possible to configure the RV042 to allow these clients to conenct? I'm not sure how to get the Mutual authentication to work, or how to import the PEM certificiate into that client. It seems to allow it to import, but I can never select it.
I used to have the problem where QuickVPN keeps on trying to verify the network because the RV042 cannot get the final ping to the client.I then bought a RV042 HW version 3 on the VPN side and I installed RV042's at the clients as well.This may look like overkill but believe me, it gives peace of mind, it made things a whole lot better, everybody happy.I am going to set up tunnels but for the time being the clients use QuickVPN. The above setup is all good if people access the vpn from the same source.
I now have a problem where one of our people is in Vietnam and she cannot access the vpn due to the "verifying network" loop.Looking at the log everything looks great, I compared a successful connect with an unsuccessful one and the logs are identical.The only difference is that the final ping is blocked (recorded in the QuickVPN log on the client side).The client uses W7 with firewall on.No need to repeat suggestions, such as turing printer sharing off, I have been through all that. isn't this simply caused by the ISP in Vietnam blocking pings ?
So here is my issue. I have two sites, each with a Linksys RV042 on thier site.
Site 1: External: 142.142.142.142 Internal: 192.168.25.0/24
Site 2: External: 143.143.143.143 Internal: 192.168.26.0/24
We have setup a site-to-site VPN between these sites, and all traffic is running back and forth without isse.
At Site 1 we have configured the Client VPN for use with the QuickVPN software. Again, for site 1, this is not an issue. We are able to access all internal resources at Site 1 without issue (expect for some DNS related problems).
The problem that we have is attempting to access Site 2 resources via the QuickVPN connection at Site 1. Even though they are not suppose to exist, we are able to ping 192.168.26.1-6 (which are ghost addresses likely created by the RV042's) but no actual systems on at Site 2.
I have added the Client VPN connection at Site 2, but it has the same problem accessing resources at Site 1.
I am setting up remote access using an RV042 router. Using quickvpn or a client-to gateway vpn and shrewsoft client, I can only access/ping the LAN side of the remote router and one machine on the remote network. The PPTP server and native Windows 7 connection provide access to all machines on the remote network.I have 2 possible reasons for this and would like to find the real reason:
1) The remote RV042 is behind another router, and that router restricts access other than the PPTP traffic.
2) The VPN tunnels other than PPTP only allow access to the remote LAN side of the router and remote machines that have the remote router defined as their gateway in the IP configuration.
I got a RSV4000 router here with the latest firmware 1.3.3.5, trying to get the quick VPN client to connect.As far configurations go I have under WAN set the IP, subnetmask, DNS1, DNS2 and gateway. And under VPN I have created a client account with a password, created and then exported the Cert to my client PC.But when I attempt to connect, the QuickVPN software hangs for a few moments at "Connecting" and then fails; when the general error.I'm running this on Windows 7 x64.
I'm running Cisco QuickVPN on a clients laptop (Windows 7). Windows firewall is disabled because McAfee SaaS is running.I sometimes have the issue that the initial connection attempt comes back with "Gateway not respoding" during the network verification process. You close the program, you open it again and it works. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries. Today I have the issue that my client tried it like 20 times including several reboots and it's just not working. I tried it from my own computer and it connected fine on the 2nd try.I'm thinking that it might be time-out thing, that the VPN client doesn't receive a response fast enough? I know my clients home internet is darn slow.
my office network is running using a Linksys Router RV042 and at home i have a Linksys Router BEFVP41. i'm trying to setup a QuickVPN from home to my office but having problems. both routers have different LAN IPs. the firmware version for my two routers are listed belowRV042 - ver. 1.3.7.4BEFVP41 - ver. 1.02.00?
I've had 1 to 1 NAT setup for years now with no issues and the other day it simply stopped working. Rebooted everything, had ISP clear arp on their cable modem yet nothing going. As soon as I remove the 1 to 1 NAT on the router the PC has internet access. Add the 1 to 1 back and no out going internet. The configuration is pretty basic and has not changed.Thinking it could be a hardware issue I swapped it out with another RV042 I have with the exact config, same thing 1 to 1 NATs have no internet access. Upgraded one of the RV042 firmware to Firmware Version: 1.3.13.02-tm, had cable modem replaced, spent numerous calls with ISP. nada
I have found one interesting thing however, any internal machine which is set to dhp works fine, and static ip that does not have a 1 to 1 nat works fine and the last ip in the 1 to 1 nat range works fine. If I extend the range it is always only the last ip that works. Even if I add 1 to 1 nats one line at a time, it is always the last entry that works..
I tried to configure two RV042 working together. [code] WAN2 of both Router1 and Router2 are unused (unplugged). However, the Host2 can never ping to Host1. So as to Host1. Should I need to configure the protocol binding for all the traffic to the WAN1?
Updated to newest firmware 4.2.1.02 and wanted to perform a backup of the startup configuration. I get a "The webpage cannot be found" HTTP 400 error when trying to do this backup. I have changed some settings since my last backup, but that backup was done using the last firmware revision.
I have set up an RV042 v1 and v3 both in Load Balancing mode. Set in Router mode.I want one of the WAN ports to be preferred so I added a static route to 0.0.0.0 metric 5 to that WAN.Sometimes the route shows in the routing table and sometimes it goes away!!
When my RV042 is accessed for long transmissions (svn check out, usually after 20 minutes ) the client receives a message "Gateway not responding, do you want to wait".
When this happens I see the following in the RV042 system log (the first 3 lines of the log below are normal):
Apr 2 17:36:53 2012Connection AcceptedTCP 192.168.2.2:8888->192.168.1.5:50046 on ppp1Apr 2 17:36:54 2012Connection AcceptedTCP 192.168.2.2:8888->192.168.1.5:50046 on ppp1Apr 2 17:36:54 2012Connection
We bought an RV042 at the end of June. It is used as a gateway and VPN router. DHCP server is disabled and all IPs are configured manually.Every once in a while (Tuesday night, then Friday night - yesterday, it has hapened once or twice before that) the router appears to restart (see log below) then comes back up with system time of Jan 01 2010. At this point the router will no longer load its configuration page (https://10.29.238.197:16443/) and VPN connection to our customer in Africa drops. However, devices behind the router can be reached and can access the internet. The only way to fix this is to power cycle the router at which point everything starts working flawlessly again.The PID VID is RV042 V03 running firmware v4.0.3.03-tm (May 12 2011 21:27:37). Our RV042 is a newer one with Cisco SMB Router branding not the older Linksys branding.
From the log when the router reboots:
Aug 12 22:38:42 2011VPN Log(g2gips0) #141: retransmitting in response to duplicate packet; already STATE_QUICK_I2Jan 1 01:00:05 2010System Logheart : System is upJan 1 01:00:13 2010System LogWAN connection is up : 10.29.238.197/255.255.255.192 gw 10.29.238.225 on eth1Jan 1 01:00:15 2010VPN Log(g2gips0) #1: [Tunnel Negotiation Info] >>> Initiator Send Main Mode 1st packet
I looked at the log more and all the usual messages assosciated with VPN being established are there - the last thing in the log before the router coming back up again is:
Jan 1 01:03:49 2010VPN Log(g2gips0) #4: [Tunnel Negotiation Info] Quick Mode Phase 2 SA Established, IPSec Tunnel ConnectedJan 1 01:03:49 2010VPN Log(g2gips0) #4: [Tunnel Negotiation Info] Quick Mode Phase 2 SA Established, IPSec Tunnel ConnectedJan 1 01:03:49 2010VPN Log(g2gips0) #4: sent QI2, IPsec SA established {ESP=>0x575a01c0 <0x6534ae4e
So it even claims the tunnel should be up but I can never reach anything on the far side.
My organization has deployed 3 Cisco RV042 (v3) at our 3 sites. They have been working pretty well up until about a week ago. One of them continues to route traffic and perform port-forwarding, but the VPN has completely stopped working and I can no longer access the web administration interface. I get the standard login page, but any attempt to login (with correct or incorrect password) takes maybe 5 minutes with a spinning status icon, followed by a blank page leaving the browser at: url...
I have the router logs e-mailed to me, and I can see that the system boots up with Jan 1 2010 as the system date, but it eventually gets the correct date from NTP, so I'm doubting this is causing the problem.
These were working for months prior to this happening, and even a reboot of the affected RV042 does not allow me to log into it or setup the VPN tunnels. I have found similar threads on this forum: url...
I have my RV042 set up in Dual WAN mode and both WANs are working properly. I would like to configure WAN1 to handle all traffic, unless it fails and then have everything to go to WAN2. Pretty much what Smart Link Backup does, however with that enabled only 1 of the WANs is live at any given time. I'd like both WANs to always be live as I'm going to see the second one as a back-door into the network. Is this possible to do with routing? I tried setting a routing rule to have everything to go WAN1, but when WAN1 goes down, nothing is rounted via WAN2.
I have a 6 month old RV042 with the newest firmware (v4.2.1.02). Over the weekend I configured the DMZ which after a lot of trial and error, was able to get working. Prior to configuring DMZ, I was able to log in with remote management. However now remote management no longer works. I've tried:
- Rebooting the router - Turning the firewall off/on - Turning remote management off/on - Changing the remote management port
The only step I haven't taken is resetting the router back to factory defaults and trying to reconfigure it all again. This router is so finicky I have no faith I'd be able to get my current functionality back again.
I have a RV042 router on a single WAN and an internal LAN. I have configured port forwarding as follows: HTTP[TCP/80~80]->10.0.0.6HTTPS[TCP/443~443]->10.0.0.6IMAP[TCP/143~143]->10.0.0.5IMAP SSL[TCP/993~993]->10.0.0.5SMTP SSL[TCP/587~587]->10.0.0.5
Everything works just fine when I have the firewall DISABLED. However, when I enable it the behaviour is erratic. 1 out of 10 attempts to connect to ANY port forwarded works. Almost all attempts time out. Notice that this happens even if using only the default firewall rules (which should be bypassed by the port forwarding as I read in other posts).
My second try was to create firewall rules manually, overriding the default ones. I tried adding rules from source WAN1 (where my connection is) to ANY and to SINGLE IP's on every port. Nothing seems to work.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, this is really bugging me. I had to turn the firewall off so we can access our servers from outside the office. This shouldn't have to be done.
Just found out that my firewall is getting LOTS and LOTS of Blocked - SYN Flood entries. I think this is why we are having trouble with the firewall. Could this be the problem? I have no idea where all these SYN packets are coming from since they appear with spoofed IPs or come from different bots all over.
what exactly is QuickVPN?Is it a IPSec VPN?Is it a PPTP?Is it a SSLVPN?can I resolve my local hostnames? That means, can I configure a lokal DNS Server?
The PPTP client from Windows 7 is not working with this router; therefore I would like to try the quickvpn.Is there any paper from Cisco explaining how to setup the RV120W for quickvpn ?
I have been battling with my Cisco RV120W router and QuickVPN.Running Windows 7 Home PremiumPerformed a fresh install to factory out-of-box install for WindowsRemoved NortonDid NOT perform any windows updatesInstalled QuickVN version 1.2.4.1I have updated the firmware to the latest version (confirmed by cisco)I can connet to the router and have a stable connectionI can ping both the router IP and the shared file server IPWhen I enter the shared file server IP into the search field (e.g. \192.168.100.199) and press enter, I see a connection to "share", so I click on this and then see "FolderName" of my shared files. I click on this folder and I get a timed out error.When I enter the routers IP address into a browser (IE8 as factory installed) I get a timed out error also.In the past, I have installed all important and recommended updates for Windows and still get the same scenerioI have called cisco support and went through router settings, assigned them a VPN username, they log in and can access the files without issue (What the @#$$@#$)Cisco support spent plenty of time with me, but since they could access my network and since I could ping my devices, they had no other suggestions further.
I have this fresh factor out-of-box install. I know this is most likely something to do with my laptop that I am trying to use to connect to the network. I have Frontier as my ISP for home. I don't know if there is anything they are doing to interfere with my connection. I have tried to connect to the network via ComCast as well, with no luck.tell me if there is something I need to tweak in my Windows 7 settings?
I've deployed a WRVS4400N router at one of my clients, however I'm unable to access resources on his network via DNS. I was hoping to use the router for DNS resolution, however when I connect via VPN, I can only connect to shares via IP address.
I have a Cisco RV120W connected to the internet. I have configured a QuickVPN user on the router, but I cannot connect via QuickVPN no matter on what PC I try (with firewall or without firewal, Windows XP, 7, ...). On the router it says the VPN user is connected, but on the client PC I receive remote gateway not responding. In the logs it says failed to ping remote VPN router. I tried changing all settings I could find on this forum, but the result stays the same (changed port to 60443, deleted all IKE and VPN policies, allowed ping, disabled fragmented packets etc...). None of all the settings seems to get any result.
I have a RV082 in the corporate office, and several remote people connecting to it using QuickVPN through a variety of clients (XP and Windows 7). As of today, they are all now seeing the "Remote Gateway is not responding - disconnect or wait" message. Checking through the logs on some of the remote clients, I see the "Failed to ping the remote router" message several times, followed by the "Ping was blocked, which can be caused by an unexpected disconnect." message.
The odd thing is that everyone has been running very well over the past 2-3 weeks - most people with 8+ hours of solid connectivity. We made no changes to the clients, nor to the remote router in the corporate office.
I just bought a RV220W for my small company. I have read everywhere that this model come with 25 license for QuickVPN/IPsec.But when I tried to create all my account I had a bad surprise. The firmware tell me that the maximum number of user that I can create is 10! I dont see anywhere in the firmware where I can upgrade for another licence. I have the last firmware.
