I would like to browse network behind the VPN rounter (Linksys
WRV54G).  The QuickVPN client connects ok to the router.  The router
log says I'm in.  However, I can't browse network behind the router.
I tried disabling firewall on my box (Vista Ultimate) and my local
router but no lock.  I can't ping the machines (sitting on a
workgroup, not domain) behind the router neither.  What else can I
try.  TIA.

Can you ping the computer behind the router by IP?

Nope.  No ping or \\server\share.  I'm on 192.168.2.x and the router
network is on 10.228.168.x.  I can ping www.yahoo.com ok so ping on my
side is good.  Just can't ping 10.228.168.x.  What else can I try?
Thanks.

Post the results of ipconfig /all after establishing the VPN.

Is this better?  Sorry for the delay response.

I had to share.  I just got off the phone with Linksys tech (level
2).  What a horrible experience.  He couldn't help so he asked me to
call Microsoft.  Well, I'm using Linksys WRT54G, WRV54G and QuickVPN,
all Linksys products.  Funny, he didn't ask me to run ipconfig or any
other diagnostics.  However, he offered to have another tech call me
tomorrow night at 11.  Hmmm, I don't remember giving him my phone
number so I don't know how anyone can call me.  I didn't catch that.
I'm about to return the hardware if I can't resolve my problem in next
couple of days.  This VPN feature by Linksys is a myth.  If one sells
a VPN router, which is an additional feature from other general
broadband router, you think they will include "how-to" guide on the
feature.  If you check their web site for help, their help stops after
making connection part.  Anyhow, waiting for some hero to come by and
tell me what to do next....
