Cisco VPN :: PPTP Setup With RV110W And Win2k3 RRAS?
May 17, 2012
Setup/Config
1. 2 physical locations (sites). One has a STATIC IP for the WAN (S2), the other has DDNS for the WAN (S1)
2. Both sites face the Internet using RV110W routers. LAN IPs are Router1(192.168.1.1) and Router2(192.168.2.1)
3. A RRAS server is setup behind the S1 router and is negotiating all the VPN traffic. The S1 router is configured to allow VPN traffic through and the Firewall is forwarding TCP 1723 traffic to the VPN Desginated network adapter on the RRAS.
4. At S2, the router is configured without any VPN settings. I am going to have the workstations (all Win7Pro) use the built in VPN connection to connect with.
5. RRAS is configured to allow up to 10 VPN connections at once, and I have made sure it is configured properly.
Issue:At S2, I am able to connect a single workstation on the VPN server with no issue. However, when I try to connect another workstation on the VPN (I should say user) it never connects and it fails. I don't have a SS of the error code, but through my research, I determined that the VPN configuration is only allowing one VPN connection at a time to the S1 site. The issue then is, how can I make it so all the workstations/users can connect to the VPN at the same time?I am able to connect each workstation/user to the VPN individually one at a time, but I am unable to connect more than one VPN connection at a time.
I have a pptp server on my network and am trying to configure my new RV110W so that I can tunnel through to it from outside.
I believe I must do port forwarding for TCP on port 1723 to get those packets going to my PPTP server. PPTP also uses GRE and I don't see that as an option anyware in port forwarding... Does that just work... as a matter of the VPN pass through checkbox being enabled ?
My netgear router would lock up every few days but it under the firewall configuration it had list of services that included PPTP and I just selected that, entered the IP addresses on the outside that I would accept, and the IP address on the inside that the PPTP clients would connect to, and it worked....
I'm thinking it is harder on this device because this device supports actually logging into it.. I am interested in learning more about that technique especially if it is more secure but the way I see it the firewall device can see all of my network and the pptp server I am using is on a file server and limited to those files shared on that server.
I've encountered a problem when using PPTP VPN to access my network. I can connect in and able to ping the hosts connected to the RV110W. [code] On the local network, I am able to ping the hosts in 192.168.250.x from 192.168.251.x and vice versa.Static routes are configured to ensure that all networks are reachable.The problem comes when I tried to VPN (PPTP) in from a remote location using the Windows XP's built in default VPN dialer.When connected, I can ping all the hosts on 192.168.254.xxx segments, but when I tried to ping the hosts in 192.168.250.xxx and 192.168.251.xxx segments, I get a request timeout.
The routing table on the RV110W shows the gateway for 192.168.254.240 (the VPN IP address) as 0.0.0.0 and interface is WAN.What am I missing and how should I configure the RV110W so that I can access the other subnets through VPN?
I've to setup RV110W router as a simple Wifi hotspot in a company network and this Wifi hotspot has to allow traffic to all internal LAN (very simple LAN with few workstation and one server) and also to Internet via our gateway. I know this product isn't really designed for that... but I've to do so. LAN is managed by Windows DHCP server and I've Internet acces through Firewall. I think I've to connect RV110W to the company LAN with the RV110W WAN interface. I want the Wifi IP address to be in the same IP range than the LAN to allow Wifi clients to access our internal server but RV110W doesn't accept this. Or do I've to ignore the WAN interface and deal with only the RV110W LAN interface?
I'm looking to update our office network and replace our old wireless box.I've been looking at the RV110w after a google search and need to find out some things before suggesting anything.
Currently our network is running a public IP address for each piece of equipment which we'd like to keep, mainly for ease. We have a wireless access point running in invisible mode for wireless client access to the entire network, and also a Netscreen firewall.
What I'd like to do is the following: 1. Keep public ip addresses for wired clients, complete with existing network/local server access/RDP. 2. Set up two VLans on private ip addresses - one to have full access as per the wired clients and the other only for guest Internet access.
Is this something the RV110w is able to do? If so how would I go about setting it up?
I am trying to configure a Cisco 871 to act as a PPTP VPN server on my home network. I have referenced Cisco's documentation regarding this which I will include below as well as a copy of my current running configuration and terminal monitor information from when I attempt to establish a connection.
When I attempt to connect from a Windows machine I receive the following error: 'Error 807: The network connection between your computer and the VPN server was interrupted.' 'The remote device won't accept the connection.'When I attempt to connect VIA my mobile, I get 'The server has hung up'.The 871 does detect the incoming connection which can be seen from the terminal monitor output: url...
I am handling a WIN2K3 server which has 11 clients connected to it and a back-up server, operating system of all clients are XP, and they are being used in a small office enviroment.
how to do maintenance work to keep my server running healthy
ADDITIONAL QUESTION:
1. Do i need to defrag the hard drive and network drives of the server?
2. How to verify if the connections if they are in healthy mode?
3. Is it advisable that when the office is close that i shutdown the servers so they can also rest?
4. Best way on how to schedule an automatic back-up or sync of hard drives on a separate hard drive that is only intended to be use for backing up of files.
Can I configure a PIX (515), as PPTP client to establish a tunnel with non-Cisco PPTP server ? Can my PIX initiate this type of connection ?Today, I use a PC with PPTP client to establish this and I want replace this with a PIX and I don´t want depends of a PC.
I have an existing home office network with a special Actiontec DSL modem to support 20 meg down and 5 meg up speeds. The modem has 4 separate gig LAN ports. My network has several printers, servers, and PCs using a combination of DHCP and static IP addresses. The modem supports DHCP, port forwarding (which I am using) as well as wireless 'n' networking along with other features. I would like to keep all this as is.
Can a Cisco RV110W be configured so that it just looks like another device on my existing network with either a DHCP or a static IP address on my home network? If I can do this, can I also set it up to receive all VPN requests so I can connect to my home network from any remote location? I can configure my existing modem to port forward all VPN requests to the RV110W address.
I really need a VPN device on my home network that will allow me to connect remotely, receive a DHCP address on my home network and then act as though it is just another computer on my network so I can access all the printers, servers, PCs, etc and use my VPN connection to send out internet traffic through the Actiontec modem. Can I do this with the RV110W? It would also be a plus to be able to enable the networking on this so I could have 2 wireless networks.
I've tried 3 types of VPN hardware and software combinations so far and none of them have worked. The ones that want to replace my Actiontec do not work because they don't support the 5 meg upload speeds. I cannot use PPTP on Windows 7 due to the firewalls where I am currently doing some work. I have to use IPsec or perhaps SSL to get out of this remote network so I can connect to my home network.
The Actiontec modem gets a dynamic IP address so I use services like DynDns to associate a domain name with the static address on the DSL modem. Then a use a NAT network behind the modem.
I have a client that requires a single router with POE for placement at an economical price. I was considering the Linksys WAPPOE12, but that is discontinued. What would work with that router?
let me know whether you can make the attached network using by RV110W or not.When I read the mannual of "rv110w_admin.pdf", P38, I guess RV110W cannot be built both NAT & Router mode.Because, I cannot setup NAT for internet access if I setup "Operating Mode" as "Router" on the setting of "Networking > Routing".And, I cannot setup the routing for internet access & MPLS-VPN access if I setup "Operating Mode" as "Gateway" on the setting of "Networking > Routing".
Is it possible to set up an RV110W to limit access to only specified websites according to a schedule? I can block access to specific sites using the Internet Access Policy settings under Firewall, but I can't figure out a successful way to block access to all sites except those specified. I also tried establishing access rules but that did not work either.
After nothing but hassles with my Linksys WAG120N, I bought a Cisco RV110W. Yesterday, I tried setting it up with the Linksys being used only as a modem. I was unable to though because when I entered 192.168.1.1 into my browser as per the Cisco setup instructions, I was taken to the admin login for the Linksys. This seemed odd to me, because the Linksys was not connected to the PC at all. The connection setup was exactly as specified in the RV110W instructions: modem connected to dsl line, ethernet cable from modem (Linksys WAG120N) to the slot marked "WAN" on the RV110W, another ethernet cable from RV110W to my PC. Despite this, the admin page was for the linksys not the cisco.
Today, I exchanged the WAG120N for a Netgear DM111P, just a modem, not a router. Same setup configuration: modem connected to dsl line, ethernet cable from modem (NetgearDM111P) to the slot marked "WAN" on the RV110W, another ethernet cable from RV110W to my PC. Same result - type in 192.168.1.1 and get taken to the admin page for "Netgear DM111P" .
I am trying to set up a static VTI IPsec VPN between a SR520 and a RV110w. This works fine between the 520 and an 861, but the RV110 complains about the "permit ip any any" default policy of the VTI. (Same thing happens with the 861 and rv110) How to put a policy in place that would be used in negotiating the tunnel that the 110 would accept?
Attached the lines out of the 110's log and the VTI setup.
I'm having problems setting up VLANs on my RV110W Small Business Router. I have updated the firmware to the latest : 1.1.0.9 Here is my set up :
WAN settings : IP : 192.168.1.252 / 255.255.255.0 - Gateway 192.168.1.254 VLAN1 (default) : IP : 192.168.2.254 / 255.255.255.0 VLAN3 (test) : IP : 192.168.16.254 / 255.255.255.0
Inter-VLAN routing option is checked.
Symptoms :
- The communication from VLAN1 to WAN is fine
- The communication from VLAN3 to VLAN1 is fine
- The communication from VLAN1 to VLAN3 is not working
My routing table is :Routing table Entry ListDestination LAN IPSubnet MaskGatewayInterface192.168.2.0255.255.255.0192.168.2.254LAN192.168.1.0255.255.255.0192.168.1.252WAN192.168.16.0255.255.255.00.0.0.0LAN0.0.0.00.0.0.0192.168.1.254WAN
As you can see, the gateway for VLAN3 is set to 0.0.0.0, which is wrong I believe. I don't know how to update that. I tried to add a a static route for the subnet, but the router did not let me do that.
I am trying to configure wake on lan for my desktop and I can't seem to get it. I have tried using single port forwarding under the firewall settings but it never works. The computer's BIOS has been configured to wake on lan and so have the Ethernet ports. I have an app for the iPad that i used to use ot send out a ping to my old router (E2500) setup that used to wake the computer just fine. But this new router (RV110w) does not work at all even with the same single port forwarding set up.
With firmware 1.2.0.9 - can the RV110W be used as a VPN endpoint? The VPN capabilities have been expanded in this version - but from the docs this isn't quite clear to me.
I just bought and setup a RV110W. I noticed while scanning it from the WAN side that it always has port 443 open, even when remote management and VPN access are disabled. Why is this port still open, and how do I close it? Or is this a bug in the firmware? I am using firmware version 1.1.0.9, which is the most up-to-date for this unit. Having open ports allowing unsolicited contact from the WAN side, especially inadvertant ones, is a major security hole.
I have recently hit a brick wall with my router... Yesterday the router was acting funny rebooting about every 5 to 10 minutes. Didnt really think anything of it then it got annoying fast. So i checked my configs and nothing was out of normal checked my firmware and noticed it was out of date. So i grabbed the newest firmware 1.2.0.9 and uploaded it... uploaded fine and then rebooted as it should at that time the power flickered again because somone had plugged an large ac adapter over top of the power switch on the power bar and it was intermittently turning the power off when the table moved... the router then power cycled mid update and is now stuck at the blinking power light state and hasnt changed for 24 hours now...
I am thinking about buying one of the 2 routers i have listed above. I have some concerns though.
First off what are the MAJOR differences between the two? (they look the same to me)
Do they both contain PPTP and is it simple to configure? Do i need any kind of special client software? Can i use my iphone and ipad to connect to the vpn server. Is there a minium download/upload speed to have a vpn sever?
Regarding to the connection RV110W to any Cisco router, should I use a crossover cable accordingly? Because, I heard that the crossover function is done inside of some switches and routers. So, I would like to know whthether the function is included into RV110W.
Is there a way to configure the router through CLI (command line interface)In other Cisco devices we always were able to simply insert a configuration throught the CLI.Now it seems it can only be done with the Webbrowser.
Just purchased a Cisco RV110W for our small business. We were told this was easy for us to use and secure enough for our small office and for our travelling sales staff to access our website.
We purchased 2 dedicated IP-addresses, 216.82.5.230 for access to one server, and 216.82.5.231 for access to a second server (these IP-Addresses given are just an example; not real).
These come into the single RV110W WAN port. The two servers are plugged into 2 of the 4 LAN ports.
But the WAN setup page only accepts one WAN IP-Address. So when we put in 216.82.5.230, the outside world can HTTPS into one server, but we don't know how to get them to HTTPS to the second server when the other staff uses 216.82.5.231.
I have an RV110W running firmware 1.1.0.9 that is working fine with VPN clients. However, one client cannot use VPN and I'm trying to set up some simple port-forwarding to allow RDP to a specific machine inside our network (IP address 10.143.193.2).
1) Where can I find explanations of what a warning means in the logs on an RV110W? 2) Why isn't traffic from my server making it back out from our network to the originating RDP client when it seems I have configured everything to allow this to work?
The details:
I have a firewall rule that says this. (Note, I've tried restricting the services to just RDP but expanded to all traffic as part of my testing.):
And a port forwarding rule that says:
But I keep getting these errors when testing the RDP from *anywhere* at all. Searching these forums and the internet at large for the reason these are warnings and what to do has been fruitless. However, these will show up for any attempt I make to connect. Also, there were rules for each of these IP addresses that show up as warnings to allow access to the 10.x.x.2 destination. It seems that the problem is traffic isn't making it back.
I bought a RV110W wireless router a couple months ago that I've been pretty happy with.
However, I have one significant problem with it. It is configured to send syslog messages to an internal server. Twice now it has gone into a mode where it starts dumping messages like,
ip_conntrack_is_ipc_allowed: ipc_entry_is_full
continuously, at a rate of about 20 per second. It otherwise seems to function normally, but of course if unnoticed my syslog file quickly grows to hundreds or thousands of megabytes. A reboot restores normal operation. It is running firmware 1.1.0.9. A search on the internet turned up no information about this problem.
It may be some corruption is occuring in the router's OS, or perhaps this is something that can be triggered externally (in which case it would be a weak form of DoS attack? Or maybe worse if in this state it is unable to properly apply the firewall rules.)
I'm trying to connect my home computer to a Cisco RV110W via host-to-network VPN. I'm on a mac using VPN Tracker 6. The Cisco router replaced sonic wall, and no one knew how to set it up, including me. VPN worked fine with sonic wall. I'm not sure configurations are correct in the router. I have:
WAN IP address (static IP address assigned by Verizon) IP Address for PPTP server: 10.10.10.1 IP Address for PPTP Clients: 10.10.10.101/105 (actually we have a range of 101 to 120, but the PPTP configuration page won't allow me to manually input 120) MPPE Encryption enabled NetBIOS enabled two PPTP users created with protocol PPTP
I'm not sure if my IP Address for PPTP Clients is correct, but he IP Address for PPTP Server matches the LAN IP address. This is correct, right? Because the router was set up by someone who was basically figuring it out, I'm not sure whether there are other configuration in the router that should be made to enable VPN connections. My VPN connection doesn't make it through phase 1 -- doesn't get to the point where it asks for a preshared key, so it's getting hung up very early in the process. I've made sure the IKE and VPN policy table configurations match what I have in the VPN Tracker 6 advanced configurations.
I have a RV110W which is am using as a router (not gateway), because it is connected to the DSL modem (not planning to bridge it) through its WAN port. The DSL modem forwards all PPTP traffic to the RV110W.The only pupose of the RV110W for me is to use it as a VPN router.
Info: Firmware version: 1.1.0.9
Below are the settings I have:
WAN: LAN:N.B. The modem runs a DHCP server, so I am relaying the requets to it VPN:N.B. Also tried with 192.168.0.0 and 12.168.2.0 networks; same thing.
Routing Settings:
Routing Table:NB: 192.168.1.11 and 10 are VPN clients (created automatically).
Firewall:Users are being able to successfully connect to the VPN; however, there are couple of problems:
1. They are not assigned a gateway; hence, not internet connectivty (i want them to use the remote gateway)
2. They are not able to access the 192.168.0.0 network; hence unable to reach their DNS server and other hosts (run a tracert; they couldn't go beyond the RV110W VPN server IP). For this, i tried to turnoff the firewall on the RV110W, and also tried to create and Access Rule to allow all outboud and inbound traffic between LAN and WAN, but no success.
CE IP - 172.18.10.10 /30PE IP - 172.18.10.9/30 I had configured some floating static route on the PE towards CE .The routes were installed correctly till PE - CE link was UP as next hop IP was showing as connected .Now the link has been removed and I am receiving a supernet of 172.16.0.0/12 from PE2 via MPBGP. Although the 1st static route for 10.10.0.0 is showing in routing table, the other 2 ( 172.17.0.0 & 172.24.0.0 ) donot show. I believe that as both the routes and next hop fall under the supernet , the static route is not installing. But I don't know why is this behaviour. I tried to remove the distance 250 from both the routes , but still the static route does not install. I tried this on GNS3 but got the same results .
We have purchased an RV110W and I need to restrict internet access to the entire internet with the exception of 4 websites that are required for employees to do their jobs. I need to do this on 3 specific machines, not the entire network. I have looked at the internet access and schedule management pages of the router and just can seem to figure out how to do this.
I am trying to connect from the outside to a TCP server inside my lan that is listening on Port 25565. I am using a RV110W. I did the DMZ IP for it.
From the Lan I can establish a connection (even with my dynamic dns address). As I try it from the outside the server log tells me that a connection has been establishen but it shows the gateways IP. Afterwards it tells me the connection hase bin lost (Time out).
As I set Port forwarding I even cannot reach the server from the out side and lan.
I have a small problem: I succeeded in etablishing a VPN connection to my RV110W from Internet. When I'm connected with my VPN connection and surf on the web, my public IP address is my home router's one. However, I can't join my home computers.My VPN adress is 10.0.0.10.Ping to 10.0.0.1 and 10.10.10.1 (RV110W adresses both) works, but I can't ping to 10.10.10.101 (home computer). I tried with all my firewalls inactive.Did I miss something on my RV110W configuration ?
