[vpn-help] Shrewsoft vpn client with LinksysRv042 - cannot ping, rdp etc

[kevin vpn]

Hi Srini,

I would suggest that it could be one of two things:

1. Your policy configuration only allows access to the Linux box.
Check the subnet mask on the policies in the VPN Trace utility. 

2. The rules on the Linksys may not allow ping or remote desktop
through the VPN.
