Even behind a linksys it shouldn't work for more than one Dist IP.  on
your FW you need UDP500 to be allowed whether you are using NAT-T or not
for IKE.  If you enable NAT-T you will need to choose a high UDP port to
use for encapsulation, make sure that the port you chose is open in your
firewall.  If you chose not to go with NAT-T you can always assign a
static Nat through your CP policy for every system on your network to an
internet routable IP from your ISP address pool if you have extras.  In
that case you will also need to have UDP 500 tcp 50 and 51 ( ah and esp)
protocols to be open.

        Hi All,
        
        Nortel says one possible fix is to turn on NAT-Travesal for the
IPSEC
        group.  This uses a UDP port that you can set to allow VPN
clients
        behind a Checkpoint Firewall to work.  Is Visitor Mode a part of
the VPN
        from Checkpoint?
        
        Thanks,
        
        Rob

        Doesn't some version of Nortel have UDP encapsulation? With all
of the
        broadband access available from hotels and other facilities,
you're
        going to hit this problem a lot. We routinely have to use
Visitor Mode
        from major hotel chains because the only traffic they allow out
is 80
        and 443.
